The tweet was deleted after awhile, but this could turn into a bigger issue. Sounds like multiple players are fed up with everything in Arizona.
As well they should be. It's been a literal S***show for years. Like, who even wants to be drafted by that mess of a team. It's about time the NHL cleaned it up and move the team. I don't feel like Arizona ever really wanted a hockey team.
So, Keller's father is now claiming that his account was hacked and the hacker sent the now deleted tweets about Keller wanting out of Arizona before the new season starts.

In addition, Pittsburgh born Logan Cooley has announced he is returning to Minnesota next season. Another blow to the Coyotes roster.
14th overall and Pickering for Cooley 8-)

All the easier to sign with the Pens when his rights expire.

To avoid Arizona, I would stay at Minnesota as long as I had to.

Quenneville and Bettman are scheduled to meet after the playoffs conclude regarding Q returning to the NHL. I can see NYR hiring him the second Bettman OK's his return.

The guy knowingly endorsed a former staff member who sexually assaulted players and went on to sexually assault more at his new job. How?

He should never coach again.

I'd hope not but I think Bettman/NHL is going to let him back in and there will be a few organizations that would immediately leap to hire him. Stan Bowman maybe too. I've never thought the NHL took the whole situation with the seriousness it deserved because they were more interested in it just going away and hopefully fading quickly from the spotlight. The initial punishment was a complete farce: 2mil fine and a few people get to resign from their jobs. Seriously?

I think there are going to be more players who want out if the league and the team stick to their "we are committed to staying here" narrative. The NHLPA is already annoyed with this situation as it is. The arena is a joke. Management is seriously suspect. The payroll is a dumping ground for bad contracts and they trade their best players. This will get uglier as the season goes on.

I think the worse thing is the fact that the Coyotes will make trades for LTIR space rather than trying to actually improve the team. It’s also pretty obvious that they’re simply helping teams circumvent the cap (ie Kane trade).

Right now they have 4 LTIR players they traded for and 3 retained salary, including Patrick Kane in a trade that really shouldn’t have been approved.

Coyotes acquire: Conditional third round selection in the 2025 NHL Draft And retain $2.6M. How can the NHL approve a trade of a conditional 3rd for retained cap space? It’s crazy that Arizona still has a hockey team, though without Arizona other teams won’t be able to circumvent the cap.

TV usually shows what the officials saw. I saw some pixelated garbage of a black glove holding a black puck in front of a dark background. Why not show those better angles?

Get hot at the right time. I'd like to say Florida got hot down the stretch to get in...but they really didn't. Since March 1st to end of the regular season, they earned only 4 more points than the Penguins.

So they really started heating up in the playoffs. Helped by Bob finally finding his playoff form after all these years. Right now, he's playing at 16-17 Vezina winning level from the regular season.

The other factor is, and something I've been saying awhile towards the Penguins...this Florida team is just built for the playoffs. Tkachuk, Bennett, Lomberg, Gudas...those are the type of skilled, gritty players that you need sprinkled into your lineup come playoff time...not Carter, Granlund, or Petry.

Busy week ahead for a couple of Canadian teams. Craig Conroy will be named the GM of the Calgary Flames, while the Maple Leafs begin their GM process in earnest. Expect other additions in Calgary as well.

I followed up and Logan Cooley said the result of the Tempe vote definitely impacted his decision. He was leaning toward going pro had the vote gone in the Coyotes' favor but again, he noted that returning to Minnesota was still a good option.

I doubt that Cooley ever plays for that franchise, whether it stays in Arizona or moves somewhere else.

I am biased, but if they were going to replay to call that a penalty, I think you need to call them both anyway. Clearly didn't hit Ghost in the mouth at all, yet he goes down holding his mouth. High stick and embellishment or nothing at all was fine with me.

I did not expect to see Fla up 3-0 over the Canes. Cats only need 1 and the Canes can't afford to lose.
