There are no Kings in LA either.But....why? There are no Grizzlies in Utah.
Devils and Angels are about the closest thing to a religious name as you might get. Guardians now too I guess. Granted I think "Devils" is more of a tongue in cheek type of nickname.
So if I was going to pick I'd go an animal route. So why not Cougars?
Well there might be a Kraken in Seattle. They purportedly are very elusive creatures that live in deep sea caverns.There are no Kings in LA either.
Nor Penguins in Pittsburgh, Golden Knights in Las Vegas, or Kraken in Seattle.
Already looked, used to live there. Maybe you're right and there is one. Then the only mythical creatures in Seattle would be Republicans.Well there might be a Kraken in Seattle. They purportedly are very elusive creatures that live in deep sea caverns.
The Jazz moved from New Orleans. I guess Utah had just as much trouble figuring an interesting Utah-themed name for their basketball team as we do for their hockey team.The Rockers. With their logo being a rock n roll guy, it won't be any more confusing than why they are called the Utah Jazz.
I don't see what connection Utah or SLC has to Jazz. When I think of the word jazz I think of great black musicians playing in smoke filled night clubs and Utah isn't exactly famous for those.The Jazz moved from New Orleans.

Rams and Sting names are already taken. Mind you the OHL team may allow the Sting name who knows.
Bighorns?
Mountaineers?
Alpine?
It doesn't have any connection to Utah. They were called the New Orleans Jazz and when they moved to Utah, I guess they just wanted to pretend there was some connection with Utah and jazz music.

Oh, I know the origins. There are some other weird ones. For example, the Lakers who started in Minnesota.The Jazz moved from New Orleans. I guess Utah had just as much trouble figuring an interesting Utah-themed name for their basketball team as we do for their hockey team.
Shall we do it again?The NHL losing a name battle against a minor hockey team is the most NHL thing ever.
but coyotes look like malnourished dogs....which sums up the franchise up to this point so a strong canine replacement makes the most sense if that were the directionKeep it as Coyotes
