The day has arrived amongst us, the Arizona Coyotes are expected to relocate to Salt Lake City for the upcoming 2024-25 season. A lot of framework to do and not officially official, but all signs point to the Arizona era coming to a close. It was reported by a reliable Yotes reporter that many players are not looking forward to this new journey.
It was Monday afternoon when NHL insider Frank Seravalli dropped the bombshell of news that the Arizona Coyotes have found a new home in Utah.

We wouldn't be surprised if a flurry of trade requests spring upon the desk of GM Bill Armstrong. Hopefully it has nothing to do with star players like Clayton Keller, Nick Schmaltz or Logan Cooley, the key pieces of this young Yotes team.
Will Clayton Keller request a trade?
