I understand the Coyotes were not treated as an expansion team at the time but don’t get your argument as to why things can’t be changed now. Can’t the NHL just sort out any licensing issues and make the change retroactively?
Makes more sense to me than continuing forward with two different “Winnipeg Jets” franchises, especially now that the new Jets are embracing the jerseys and history of the previous team.
