After years of speculation about the Arizona Coyotes potentially leaving the desert, recent developments suggest NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman's persistence may have paid off. Despite challenges, including failed attempts for new arenas, the Coyotes, once on the brink of relocation, seem to have secured a future in Arizona.
If the deal goes through, it not only marks a significant step towards a new arena but also secures the team's long-term presence in Arizona. This news offers relief to fans, especially as the team shows signs of improvement on the ice. The announcement of project plans next month will likely bring more clarity to the Coyotes' future in the desert.
