"Coyotes Relocation to Utah: A Non-Traditional Move"

The Arizona Coyotes may be moving to Salt Lake City, but owner Alex Meruelo could potentially bring the team back as an expansion team in the future. This move is being described as "not a traditional relocation," and it would involve suspending the Coyotes while the Utah team starts fresh with its own name, logo, and branding. This would be a unique deal in NHL history, allowing the Coyotes to retain the history of the original relocated Winnipeg Jets. The NHL has a history of suspending franchises in its early days, and this potential move would be a significant departure from the league's usual approach to franchise relocations.
