As the Coyotes' future remains uncertain, potential relocation destinations are being discussed, including Houston, Salt Lake City, and Kansas City.
Insider Elliotte Friedman has revealed that the NHL is seriously considering Alpharetta, a suburb of Atlanta, as a potential new home for the Coyotes.
While this move would not bring back the Atlanta Thrashers, it would reintroduce NHL hockey to Georgia, a state that has experienced unsuccessful attempts with the Flames and the Thrashers in the past. The NHL sees potential in the Atlanta market.
Critics argue that instead of Alpharetta, the league should prioritize building a stadium within Atlanta itself. This approach would better connect with the diverse population of the city and align with the NHL's goal of expanding the game.
