No, they aren't. The league is potentially going to a lockout because some teams are struggling to reach the current salary floor. Moving the Coyotes only moves the floor higher, which only makes things
worse for those teams. It is naive to think that the Coyotes are the root of the problem, or even a significant part of it. They are a part, no doubt, but no more so than a half dozen other teams.
The Coyotes situation does not look good, but bad optics does not imply disastrous finances. Especially since Glendale was eating most of the losses. You are attempting to transfer your personal emotional argument into the business one, and thus are applying an extreme position that does not truly exist.
