Remember the Winnipeg Jets who are now the Phoenix Coyotes and may come back to Canada if the team goes to the highest bidder, a Canadian? Did the NHL make a bid to keep the Jets in Canada or the Nordiques in Quebec? No, no, no! Why not? Now one team has a chance to come back to Canada where they may actually make money and the NHL wants to stop it.
The Coyotes never have and never will make money in Phoenix. They don’t have the fan base there. In fact, when is hockey played? In the winter. Phoenix and area grows by tens of thousands during the winter with Canadians who spend their winters there. So who is going to the damn games? All American fans? Probably not. What % of the fans are Canadians? Anyone know? Let me know.

Damn rights our Canadian team should come back to Canada. The NHL should not be able to bid on the team the political way they are. They did not stop the team from leaving Canada when it left Winnipeg. Phoenix will never make money where it is. Bring Wayne and the team back to Canada
