Will AZ miss the Coyotes?

Some of you might know - but the reality is most people probably do not know that the Phoenix Coyotes got swept out of the first round of the NHL Playoffs last night by the Detroit Red Wings. So big deal right? I mean it is not a secret that the Coyotes have never been as popular as the Suns, Cardinals and Diamondbacks.
Without getting into all of the details - there is a very real chance that the Coyotes will leave Phoenix and move to Winnipeg next season - which means no more NHL in AZ, probably ever. Here is my question: If the decision to move the Coyotes to Winnipeg has already been made - should the NHL and/or the Coyotes have made the information known before or during the playoffs? If you knew that the Coyotes were leaving would you have tried to go to a game? Would you have watched the game last night?
I have never gone to a Coyotes game - but I think sports fans and especially hockey fans deserved to know if last night was the last NHL game in AZ.
