The Arizona Coyotes have been one of the biggest talking points over the past year, and for none of the right reasons. They were all but thrown out of the Gila River Arena for defaulting on payments, they are playing in a college rink for this season and next, and the latest photos/video of their facility were an absolute joke.

The latest on the situation is that the Tempe City Council is set to vote on a proposed 16,000 seat arena for the Coyotes. This vote is set to take place on November 29 and could absolutely determine the fate of the organization. If the proposal gets shot down, it could very well be the end of NHL hockey in Arizona.
Commissioner Gary Bettman has played every card he possibly can in preserving the club's presence in Arizona. If this one flops I just don't see how they can proceed without the discussion of relocation.
