Where will the Phx/Arizona Coyotes rank in terms of lasting legacy?

This could be one of the most forgettable franchises in all of sports. Right now, I think that goes to the Atlanta Thrashers. Some other hockey teams are close by: Cleveland Barons, California Golden Seals.

Did ownership fumble so badly that it cost Phoenix a team in the future?

I don't follow the sport too much so I've always wondered why NHL teams seem to move/fold so frequently.

I’ve never understood that.

Hartford Whalers would be a nice addition to the league and also bring back the Quebec Nordiques.

The NHL makes a fraction of the revenue that the NBA and MLB does yet they have more teams than both of those leagues. That never made sense to me.

They had a memorable ridiculous logo but that's about it.

They'll be known as Gretzky's folly.

They don’t. There’s only been two this century (Thrashers/Jets and Coyotes). That’s fewer than the NBA (Grizzlies, original Hornets/Pelicans, Sonics/Thunder and the Nets if you want to count them) and NFL (Rams, Chargers, Raiders), and tied with MLB (Expos/Nats and Athletics).

There were a lot in the 90s, but that’s pushing 30 years at this point (and there were a lot in the NFL in the 90s too).
