The NHL Confirms New Expansion Team Will Be Within the Next 5 Years
The Arizona Coyotes future remains uncertain, but there's already talk that should they make a comeback to the NHL, it would likely be as a new expansion team, provided a new arena comes to fruition within the next five years.
The last team to join the NHL, the Seattle Kraken, managed to hit the playoff ice in just their second season, thanks to some savvy moves and a bit of luck. While it's a long shot, Arizona fans are hopeful their potential new team could replicate that success.
However, the situation raises several questions that are causing concern among fans and observers alike. The relocation of the Coyotes was shrouded in secrecy until it unexpectedly came to light, causing a stir.
Moreover, despite the impact of the Canadian dollar, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman hasn't pursued the option of moving a franchise to Canada or introducing a new team there. This leaves many wondering about Bettman's commitment to ensuring the Coyotes' or another team's success in Arizona.
As we look ahead, the next few years will be critical to see whether a new franchise could indeed thrive in Arizona, should the opportunity arise.
