Arizona announced a while back is staying in the college stadium for another year. The owner said he will be in the bidding for a parcel of land in the Phoenix area, but that bid isn’t until next June. You then have to get approval and build a stadium. I doubt that the NHLPA is happy with this bit of news.
"The Coyotes have a lot of work to do contract-wise on their back end for next season as none of their regulars are under contract for 2024-25. However, Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli reports (video link below) that the team does not have the green light to start working on contracts for next season at this time. As has been well documented, their arena situation is once again in some question for a few more months at least, pending a possible land purchase which would be late in the spring. It was also reported after the trade deadline that GM Bill Armstrong wasn’t able to retain salary, limiting the returns they received on Jason Zucker and Matt Dumba. At this point, it’s far from a must to begin extension discussions at this point in the season but if those internal restrictions continue into the offseason, it could be something to keep an eye on."
It seems they have been put on restrictions as to what they can do towards the future! What is going to happen to them after this season??????
AZ francize in "transition" to where? and to what?

They’re trying to hold out until Matthews comes home to save the franchise

Maybe we can become the 3rd team to pay Petry not to play for them and send them Petry with retained salary in exchange for the UFA rights to Josh Brown!

According to Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro, Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo has contacted multiple parties, including groups inside and outside the state, to gauge their interest in buying the franchise. He’s seeking an asking price of $1B, $50MM more than the Senators sold for when Michael Andlauer purchased the club last summer.
Gambadoro notes that the Coyotes have recently met with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman to update him on their current bid to remain in Arizona, which revolves around winning an auction for a plot of land on the city’s north side. When approached for comment by Gambadoro, the Coyotes said, “Mr. Meruelo and the team are solely focused on the land auction and winning the bid. And to keep the Coyotes in Arizona.”

Bettman has stated the league will return to the Phoenix market in the near future if the Coyotes relocate. They’ll likely hold off on doing so until a suitable, more central-location venue becomes available, however.Can you believe this?!?!?!?
