Last night’s OT loss against the Ducks was one Utah didn’t deserve to win. Now the team will have to try to fix their mistakes shown last night without three of their defensemen. Check out my takeaways from Wednesday’s game in my latest.

My guess is that they would be transferred over. The only thing I believe the NHL would keep is the rights to the branding (logos, names, jerseys, etc) and make them inactive. Again no one knows if this is going to happen but it is a possibility.

More horrible news in the Arizona hockey community as it’s announced that Don Mullett passed away a couple days ago. Don was instrumental in funding the ASU men’s ACHA team until they got promoted to the NCAA. He then donated continuously to ASU athletics.
Don leaves a lasting legacy as a supporter of Sun Devil Hockey in the culmination of Mullett Arena.
Thank you for making dreams into reality, Donze ❤️
