NHL still talking to potential Coyotes buyers, but situation starting to mirror Atlanta’s move to Winnipeg

By Mike Sunnucks | Phoenix Business Journal

The question for the Coyotes’ future in Arizona is whether the NHL has begun or might already be talking to potential team buyers in other markets. Quebec City, suburban Toronto, Seattle, Oklahoma City, Las Vegas and Portland could all be in the mix if the NHL starts looking at the relocation option for the Coyotes.

Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers said last month two groups have contacted him about possibly buying the Phoenix Coyotes.

Coyotes fans do not want to see that happen after this season.
