Default How are the Arizona Coyotes still in the NHL??
Looks like Arizona is playing in the mullet arena next year. How are they still operating with only 5000 fans a night. If someone has knowledge on the cba, maybe they can explain. I just don't understand how they are still around. If I was any of the other team owners, I would be choked that the yotes are not pulling their weight.
Just curious if anyone can explain.

The NHL does have revenue sharing, so the Coyotes do get money from the league. Other factors, they don't spend to the cap, would get revenue from national and local TV deals and sponsorship deals, and rumour is they flat out lose money. They only reason they are still in Arizona is Gary wants it to work, it's one of the biggest markets in the league.

Should be moved to Hamilton at the very least but the NHL brain trust would never allow another Canadian market team. Honolulu maybe but not any Canadian city
Personally I think The StJohns Cod fathers would be a good choice.
