The NHL is moving the team now formerly known as the Arizona Coyotes to Utah tobegin play as a new franchise next season, the league announced Thursday.

Ryan and Ashley Smith of Smith Entertainment Group bought the team and its existing hockey assets for $1.2 billion from Alex Meruelo, sources told ESPN. Meruelo had owned the Coyotes since buying the franchise for $300 million in 2019, butthe league lost patience in his ability to find a long-term arena solution in Arizona and facilitated a sale.

爵士隊老闆確定用12億美金買下NHL亞利桑那土狼

並把土狼隊搬來鹽湖城

將和爵士共用Delta Center

The Smiths, who also own the NBA's Utah Jazz, initially built a relationship with commissioner Gary Bettman because they wanted an expansion franchise. However, over the past several months, the conversation changed and Bettman approached the Smiths about becoming a solution for the Coyotes instead.

之前爵士老闆就在推動在鹽湖城擴編一隻NHL隊伍

現在則直接買現成的搬過來XD

然後繼續在亞利桑那弄新球場

NHL有保障他，如果五年內弄到新球場

會讓他重新在當地擴編一隊回來

只不過他2019用3億買土狼

現在先用12億脫手也算不吃虧了

In what’s set to be the Coyotes’ final game in Arizona, Mullett Arena broke out into “Salt Lake sucks” chants:

土狼隊在亞利桑那最後一場比賽

全場球迷高喊鹽湖城爛XD

Ryan Smith has never spoken to @ArizonaCoyotes owner Alex Mruelo. It didn’t stop him from executing a $1.2 billion acquisition that will add an NHL team to his growing Utah sports empire.

“It’s a little unprecedented in how this is all happening, but with the timeline—there’s so much to do"

話說雙方老闆從未講過話XD
