Presently, the team is grappling with difficulties while playing in ASU's Mullett Arena, prompting calls for Bettman to confront the reality and consider relocating the team.
Disappointingly, the arena rarely saw sold-out games, with most matches featuring a majority of away fans due to high ticket prices, even reaching $160 for the cheapest seat in the tiny university arena.
Karel Vejmelka, the team's goaltender, expressed his dismay over the past season's struggles. The challenges they faced, coupled with the failure to pass a referendum for funding a new district and arena, have raised concerns for the Arizona Coyotes' future.
While the situation may not be the most favorable, Vejmelka's criticism of the team may not endear him to the front office or Gary Bettman. As they await a new Arizona home, the Coyotes must navigate these hardships to maintain their credibility.
