Insider Confirms New City Could Take On The Coyotes
Today an NHL insider confirmed that a new city could have the potential to take on an NHL team. Thanks to Aaron Itovitch we now have a quote from NHL insider Elliotte Friedman confirming the favorite to take over the Arizona Coyotes.
Salt Lake City is probably your escape hatch for Arizona if that doesn't get sorted out. - Elliotte Friedman
Salt Lake City has gained traction when it comes to a potential NHL team over the last few months. The owner of the Utah Jazz Ryan Smith has said in the past he would be interested in bringing an NHL team to the Salt Lake City area.
As time goes on and the Arizona Coyotes still do not have an NHL arena to play in it will be interesting to see if this gains traction.
