On Friday, now ex-Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo held his first public press conference since the franchise's sale and relocation to Utah, showcasing why the future of hockey in Arizona is in such peril. Sitting alongside NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, Meruelo answered reporters' questions, often appearing flustered or annoyed. During one particularly awkward moment, Bettman had to step in after Meruelo tried to explain his absence during the franchise's collapse by saying he "didn't like the media." "Let me translate that a little bit," Bettman interrupted. "I don't think anybody should take that personally. I think he doesn't like being a public person."
