Grizzlies sounds cool. Or maybe upgrade them from Coyotes to Wolves.

The Salt Lake Bears/Utah Bears
Bear Creek is one of Utah's natural wonders and one of the most beautiful features of Utah. It looks like a Caribbean island with how blue the water is.

The Utah Grizzlies are an old IHL team, so that would be an easy start.

Something bee-related would be nice and would be topical for the area given that Mormonism has a long history of beehive-related symbology. Salt Lake Bees is already taken, though.
Utah Yellowjackets sounds solid, but having two -jacket teams in the NHL would be a bit much.
Utah Wasps would be too open for a joke despite the P part of the acronym not fitting.
Utah Hornets works, but "Hornets" is already more famous as an NBA team, so no need to second fiddle themselves when they don't have a history with the name.
Utah Drones? Eh... nah.
Maybe go a different route.
Utah Raptors would be neat after the dinosaur utahraptor, but again, second-fiddle to an NBA team. Lakers as well, darn you, LA.
State fish is a cutthroat troat, so Utah Cutthroats sounds badass.... but that's not really a mental image you want in hockey for pretty obvious and morbid reasons.
Eh, maybe something basic, like Utah Pioneers?

Jazz and blues are very different, and if Kyrou and co. have any respect for their team then they know the difference between Muddy Waters and Pat Metheny.
Blues would naturally play a more structured game, Jazz more free flowing and improvisational. That’s just science.
Anyways- Utah Powderkegs? Powder as in snow, I assume powderkegs were used in mining. Also various jokes can be made regarding alcohol and illicit substances, so that’s fun.

powderkegs also relevant to Avalanche Mitigation, which was first pioneered in the modern sense in Utah by the Utah Avalanche Center which is arguably the world’s leading Avalanche Center.
Little Cottonwood canyon , home of Alta and Snowbird is one of the snowiest places on earth as well and is extremely avalanche prone

I’d prefer they just keep the Coyotes, and change the colors.
