LeftWinger 5,065 Report post Posted April 12 It'll be Utah. Now, what will they be called? Coyotes are in Utah, but I hope they change it. Moose, Bobcats, Cougars, badgers are just a few other animals that are found in Utah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So "The Bees", colors black and yellow, and their logo can be a big letter B on their chest. But in all seriousness it will either be the Salt Lake Sister Wives or The Stormin' Mormons. 1 town123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utah Saints, Utah Hive, Utah Bees. Yeah - a yellow variant and black with the old school horizontal stripes would be nice. 1 town123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Troy McClure 347 Report post Posted April 13 Interesting tidbit: There is a clause in the sales agreement sending the yotes to Salt Lake, that if the current owner of the yotes is able to build an arena in Arizona within 5 years after this sale, he will payback the money he made in the sale, and in exchange be allowed to reactivate the phoeonix coyotes with an expansion draft.

kipwinger 8,675 Report post Posted April 16 SY should be looking at this relocation as an opportunity to dump contracts. I'd imagine Utah management will be looking to compliment the already solid young players in Arizona with some competent veterans so that they don't absolutely blow right off the bat. Enter guys like Maatta/Chiarot/Copp. They'll have cap space and the willingness to use it (for once) and they won't have the benefit of starting from scratch like the expansion teams did.

Wouldn't most of the same front office personal relocate to SLC? Otherwise you are really starting from scratch and that seems like a disaster vs the true expansion teams Vegas, Kraken, Atlanta(2026 just kidding) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chiarot and Copp have NTCs. But Fabbri and Maata going to SLC I could see happening. 22 minutes ago, AtlantaHotWings said: Wouldn't most of the same front office personal relocate to SLC?
