moved to Denver
in 1995), the Jets were unable to retain their best players. Various schemes were devised to save the team through a tremendous grassroots
effort and government funds, but in the end the efforts were not enough.
Despite strong fan support, the Winnipeg Jets were at a financial disadvantage with many American franchises. The team was sold to Phoenix businessmen Steven Gluckstern and Richard Burke, and in 1996, the club moved to Arizona
and became the Phoenix Coyotes. In the summer that the move took place, the franchise saw the exit of Jets stars like Teemu Selanne
and Alexei Zhamnov

from the Chicago Blackhawks
. Roenick teamed up with power wingers Keith Tkachuk
and Rick Tocchet
to form a dynamic 1–2–3 offensive punch that led the Coyotes through their first years in Arizona. Also impressive were young players like Shane Doan
