This whole relocation to Phoenix seemed doomed from the start. US Airways arena, located in downtown Phoenix, was/is unsuitable for hockey. So it doesn't take a genius to predict that the Coyotes/Jets would have to build an arena of their own, and likely in the suburbs.
Knowing this, they still moved the team to a non-traditional hockey market in one of the hottest deserts in the world (Sonoran Desert).
Just seems like a bit too much round-hole-square-peg bashing. Maybe it's time to call this a failed experiment and move on.
