What's the latest on the Arizona Coyotes arena lease? Are they still capable of staying in Arizona longer?
And the Ottawa Senators draw a horrible attendance. Last in the NHL I believe. Are they safe for now?

Arizona Coyotes are 28th and the Ottawa Senators are 31st and dead last in home attendance.

I'm tired of dreaming about Houston, Texas landing an NHL franchise via relocation or expansion.
Any chance the NHL would even expand to 34 teams or is the only real hope through relocation?

Seattle should be proud of themselves for landing the 32nd team. I think Houston can support a good pro hockey team. The fans in Houston will show up in large numbers if the team is any good. Not to call our fan base fairweather fans but they'll embrace the team if it's championship caliber. The new XFL team, the Houston Roughnecks, are off to a dazzling start. Great home crowds already. They haven't lost a game yet.

I think Houston can definitely draw a larger home crowd for NHL games than the Ottawa Senators and Arizona Coyotes.
To the people that say pro hockey can't work in Texas. The Dallas Stars are 3rd in the NHL in home attendance.

I like the Dallas Stars but I've fallen in love with the Coyotes. My favorite player in the NHL is Clayton Keller. I want the 'Yotes in Houston!

If Arizona was to move i'd say Houston would be a prime spot for them.

I'd love to see that happen. Houston Rockets owner Tillman Fertitta is pushing hard to land an NHL team. If it happens it'll be soon.

I'm bad luck for the Coyotes though. Last three times I bet on them they lost all three games by a score of 3-2. Including losses to the horrible Kings and Senators. The game against the Kings they had a 2-1 lead in the final 4 minutes. Suffered a weak tripping penalty which was totally unnecessary. Gave up a power play goal late in the 3rd period and then lost in Overtime.

But something seems special about the Coyotes. I love watching them play. They have some nice young talent.
If you were to land any NHL team via relocation it would be a team like that. Plenty of youth and talent already.

Clayton Keller @ClaytonKeller37 is a fun follow on Twitter. This young kid is a stud. He can still get better.
