Will it go through expansion? According to Frank Sevaralli, there are three possibilities.
Here are these three options:
1- Building a new arena in Arizona
2- Finding buyers to keep the team in Arizona
3- Relocating the team to Quebec or Salt Lake City
Indeed, Quebec is mentioned here. The best way to make a lot of money quickly is through expansion. Since Salt Lake City is in the west, moving the Coyotes to Quebec would then be an idea.
It's still in the rumor stage, but it makes sense. The timing would be excellent as Gary is trying hard to shift the focus away from the scandal of the Junior Team Canada.
He doesn't want to answer questions about this situation and doesn't seem ready to make a decision either.
