Gary Bettman and the NHL finally Losing Patience With the Coyotes?
The Arizona Coyotes have been under fire for the last few years. Despite the team's ongoing struggles, the NHL has continued to support the Coyotes.
It appears that this support may be starting to fade.
Rumors Suggest That NHL Is Losing Patience With Arizona
In the last episode of his podcast 32 thoughts,NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has reported that there is a growing sense of discontent with the Coyotes around the league, with some high placed sources confirming that at least some of the owners are unhappy with the situation in Arizona.
"The other thing I really think is coming up is Arizona. But I'm not convinced that's a GM issue, I think that's a board of governor issue if the other owners are particularly upset about it."
"I'll say this, I've had a couple of GMs who tell me their owners are not happy about it,"
This situation may soon become a topic of discussion at the upcoming NHL general managers' meetings, and it appears that the Coyotes may have to face pressure from multiple angles.
While NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has been a passionate supporter of the Coyotes in the past, he must answer to the league's owners.
