The Coyotes have been declared dead so many times that the franchise has taken on a ghostly aura. The howling coyote after each goal seems creepy now, not a celebration but more like a rattle of chains. Adrift in the desert, with an empty arena and a nightmarish host city, the team lost most of its players this summer and now more than ever people are asking "What is left of this franchise?". Many are calling for the team to be folded - to go gently into the night and put it out of its suffering. With all of the endless drama of the ownership search it's feels like a brain dead patient on life support with visiting charlatans cruelly giving the distraught family members false hope that the patient can be saved.
Now it's most important player Shane Doan, the original Jet and 15 year veteran is willing to stay but can't get an answer if a new owner is for real, is plying free agency waters. It seems like the last death rattle, as Doan leaves town the last tiny shred of franchise life and identity is leaving. By September 15 he will be gone.
The soul of this franchise is gone. (Edit: Note this is not the jets. They stayed in winnipeg) It has been dead for years now and its time to pull the plug and give it a moment of silence.
*Taps plays slowly*
