Like Gooper, other NHL owners must wonder what it is that Big Daddy Bettman sees in the Coyotes, who are once again about to become homeless. Glendale “is not economically capable of supporting a successful NHL franchise,” proclaimed Bettman. “The Arizona Coyotes must have a new arena location to succeed.” He wants taxpayers to pony up to keep them alive. that the Coyotes were a great franchise that would absolutely succeed in Glendale with a good owner, the right arena and bigger crowds. Bettman and Co. successfully have squeezed the compliant burghers of Glendale for repeated subsidies to keep the team alive.
