After a desperate meeting with the Tempe city council this morning, Bettman pleaded his case.
Then Bettman confirmed the rumour that any new arena would come with a 30-second no-relocation clause. This means the Coyotes will be in Arizona for a long time.
The Tempe city council opted to put the $1.7-billion complex up to the vote of Tempe residents.
Thus, Bettman released this video, quite literally begging fans for support:
We will see if the people of Tempe make the decision to let the Coyotes move, or if they will keep the team to flounder for another 30 years.
Either way, something big is coming for the Coyotes organization.
