Last Saturday the Coyotes held a meeting with their players, staff and Mathieu Schneider from the NHLPA. Friedman was told it was a really blunt meeting. Players asked a lot of questions about how they got to this point and what the future holds.
Gutierrez answered the questions, Schneider indicated 90% of the players won't be on the roster if & when the new building gets built, they feel really in the dark, if you don't build a rapport with these players now you'll get a reputation that you leave your players in the dark
Friedman called it a "really tough" meeting between the Coyotes and the players, it's pretty clear the players don't like this situation and they wish there were better answers they could get towards it.
Friedman doesn't think the NHLPA can block this move at all.
