Following the Coyotes and NHL's hurdles in securing a new arena in Arizona, the spotlight has shifted to discussions of potential relocation.
Destinations such as Houston, Atlanta, and Quebec City have all been tossed into the rumor mill. However, a recent revelation from a well-placed source has cast a new contender into the spotlight.
Eklund, a recognized figure for his hockey insights through Hockey Buzz, has identified Salt Lake City as the front-running candidate in the NHL's expansion prospects.
In his observation, Eklund noted,
"The momentum is unmistakably directing toward Salt Lake City securing an NHL franchise. Some media voices are even framing this development as an inevitable progression..."
Interestingly, should the Coyotes choose to stay put in Arizona, an intriguing scenario could unfold wherein Salt Lake City ushers in an entirely new NHL team.
