I wrote my response in the Coyotes thread. Let's leave everything in that thread since it follows this issue.

This decision should have been made by all NHL franchise owners rather than a judge whon knows nothing about pro psorts, hockey or how to run a business.The only people that will be hurt (financially) with this crazy judicial decision is the taxpayers of Glendale. The team has been in the Valley for over a dozen years and has lost money EVERY season, the stadium is never full, there arent very many hockey fans in this part of the country, and the Coyotes have a horrible record. It is very evident to everyone (accept this silly judge) that the Phoenix area is not profitable market for a pro hockey franchise. That is a fact. Everyone knows it--outside and inside AZ. So why should anyone want the Coyotes to stay? Is it prestige?? Selfishness? I think this judicial decision wont matter in the end and changes nothing. The team is still bankrupt and will be up for a bid by another buyer who will probably move the losing money pit franchise to another market inevitablly within 2 years at most. Glendale was a nice place to live before the Coyotes arrived and will remain so when they leave. This silly decision just slows down their inevitablle departure. I think the Yotes will end up going to Seattle or a Midwest Market. Kansas City, Indianapolis or Cleveland may be viable hockey markets. Evidently it isnt Phoenix. This decision should have been made by all NHL franchise owners rather than a judge who knows nothing about pro psorts, hockey or how to run a business. SAD.

Thumbs up I agree

I agree with krock1 when I say that the Yotes may have better success in a less saturated market. Phoenix is heavy with multiple venues and just doesn't have enough discretionary income, not to mention fan time, to spread amongst every sports franchise.

I do believe there exists several sports starved markets out there that would embrace an NHL team...
