Cooley wont sign

They have until 2026 don't think it gets to that point

They will trade him way before losing him for nothing

Yeah, but even given the apparent impending demise of the Coyotes, by the team Cooley has completed his university eligibility and is about to become a free agent, the franchise may have relocated to Milwaukee, nearer his home town than Phoenix, and he might still want to be a Brew Packer (or whatever they'll be called there). Or maybe they'll show quick signs of improvement while relocating to Portland, or maybe no-state-income-tax Houston. Let's not all count our chickens before they're hatched.

If by 2026, AZ is still playing littlest hobo bouncing around 5000 seat arenas and refusing to acknowledge the writing that’s been on the wall for over a decade now…if I were Cooley I wouldn’t sign onto that uncertainty and I would demand a trade to a team that actually has a place to play that’s not an arena fit for the ECHL…you know, all 31 other teams for example.

Well you're not Cooley. We can't assume what he wants or why he went back so I think this agm is dumb
