Gary Bettman shares why it's so important to him to keep the Arizona Coyotes in Arizona
Every year before the puck is about to drop on the Stanley Cup final, The National Hockey League holds a press conference and addresses the season that was, this year, commissioner Gary Bettman took some time to double down on his belief in the Arizona Coyotes.
Bettman explains why keeping the Coyotes where there are is a must; take a look.
Bettman explains that he thinks Arizona is a good market, one of the largest in North America and they've been a victim of circumstance throughout their time in the league and the league is in a much better position to avoid relocating teams now than 30 years ago, so if they can avoid it, they will.
While the League continues to explore other options in the greater Phoenix area after their arena deal in Tempe was axed.
To those who thought The Arizona Coyotes were moving, Bettman has clearly said otherwise and although most of the fans would not agree, at least he provided an explanation as to why he doesn't want to move them.
While it's admirable Bettman wants to keep the team in Arizona largely because of the fans, I think all you're doing at this point is prolonging their misery.
