With all this sudden Jarome Iginla chatter, most hockey fans spent the majority of Wednesday evening talking about a player that probably should have been moved last year, at the very least. But somewhat overshadowed in the rumoured end to the Iggy Derby was Darren Dreger’s update regarding a team that probably should have been moved last year: the Phoenix Coyotes.
According to Dreger, the NHL may be running out of patience in Phoenix. After years of doing their best to keep the team in Glendale, the league could make a decision on relocating the franchise in advance of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
“It’s clear time [is] running out and relocation must be considered,” Dreger tweeted.
The TSN analyst listed Quebec City, Seattle and Kansas City among relocation sites, none of them new options to puckheads.
But at this point, I think hockey fans know not to react too quickly to any report about the Phoenix Coyotes, and this one is no different. Don’t think that’s the end of the Coyotes as we know them just yet.
“Current focus remains on selling the Coyotes to ownership in Glendale,” Bill Daly told Yahoo!’s Nick Cotsonika. “We haven’t spent much time on anything else.”
