It’s fine the Coyotes lost to Colorado. Expected. But it’s HOW they lost that is frustrating.

What exactly is the value of a committed fan, and more importantly, do the AZ Coyotes understand this? Do they sympathize with the highs and lows that go along with this, how things were hyped to get people in the seats, and how you work hard to keep your hopes up year after year, when it is obliterated. I wrote one of the Coyotes (probably the longest running) front office personnel. I was gratified that he would even take the time to respond, but he faithfully has continued. In his words, we appreciate your support, hang in there etc. Then he told me that a rebuild is typically a six-year process, and pointed out the highs and lows of the TB Lightning as an example of a rebuild. Well, we just finished in embarrassing fashion year 6 of the promised rebuild. IO know that because of Covid-19 a lot of things were different but here we are once again. Fans who have stuck with the Coyotes for all this time are now being asked to endure another rebuild, six years?? To be perfectly honest, Craig, I don't know if I have it in me. After years, thousands of dollars, is this a core that can actually be built into a winner? You're right that Taylor Hall is the best player out there for the Coyotes, but I don't see how it makes sense to spend the kind of money and/or assets that Taylor Hall is going to want and ask for. In the end, I don't see many ways forward to continue my commitment. I can say that every year that passes I become more and more cynical over the hype, the build up, the promises etc. And it gets worse when what is the freshest in your mind are these last two playoff game debacles. Is there anyone on this roster to do what it takes to become a winner. I don't know. I'm glad in it all that you've chosen to be a sounding board and resource for no-nonsense, balanced Coyote information. I thank you for that.
