Bruins Daily: Bye-Bye Coyotes? NHL News And Rumors

The NHL trade rumor silly season has returned, and it would be silly to think the Arizona Coyotes aren’t relocating at this point.

That, NHL rumors, Stanley Cup Playoffs news and more in the latest BHN Daily:

NHL

ESPN: The Arizona Coyotes $2.1 billion arena and entertainment district proposal to the city of Tempe, Arizona was rejected by voters leaving the team’s future in Arizona very much in doubt. According to numerous reports, relocation of the troubled franchise is very much a reality now and cities like Houston, Salt Lake City, and Kansas City are being bantered about. This very likely means the end of the Arizona Coyotes.

Finally, I’m so happy that the NHL is embracing new fans like Nimay Ndolo, a woman from New York City who went to her first NHL game this past season at Madison Square Garden and went viral after filming her. Nimay’s enthusiasm and new love for the NHL is awesome and the NHL needs to market more converted fans!
