James,

Beginning of the end of the Preds in Nashville? :) (Wishful thinking I know)
Wilson is a Battleford, Sask. native.

Do you see a Canadian owning this team to possibly someday move them to W. Canada? Maybe he moves the Stars to Seattle which helps your realignment obsession and love for Seattle?

Cox: NHL set to unload or move Coyotes
http://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/nhl/article/1086988--cox-nhl-set-to-unload-or-move-coyotes

From the link above:
"At this point, those familiar with the sales process estimate there is only a “50/50” chance of the Coyotes finding a buyer to keep the team in Glendale, and suggest that’s less than was the case a year ago.

There’s no sign the situation is improving under NHL ownership. In fact, Coyotes’ crowds are down almost 20 per cent from the first year the NHL owned the team, hardly a sign of progress or faith in the remarkable job done by Don Maloney and Dave Tippett to produce a team that has made the playoffs the past two springs and are on track to do so again this season."

Coyotes draw 6,300 last night vs. Nashville. Enough of this crap. When are they moving?

Darren Ford @ Jetsowner updated the Jets Meter to 100% calling it Mission Accomplished. I know you are a member like me but I haven't logged on yet, just went to the site and saw the front page.

Jetsowner.com its in the bag with Atlanta. 1 down many more to go. The NHL will never be back in Atlanta and we can all take solace in that fact. Also for the first time since 1992, teams will be added to Canada and as a bonus, at the South's expense, exactly how it should be.

James,

Read what Darren wrote in his latest post on Jetsowner if you haven't alerady. You will like what you see. Its not what you are thinking as its not THE big announcement yet, but he's not hiding anything in code this time. :) yes I have joined the boards.

Clock ticks again on Coyotes, Hulsizer deal as Goldwater lawsuit lingers

http://assets.bizjournals.com/phoenix/blog/business/2011/02/clock-ticks-again-on-coyotes-hulsizer.html

from the article: "
Prospective buyer Matthew Hulsizer could end up taking his money to another market if the Phoenix Coyotes saga drags on much longer, or Glendale’s $197 million package and bond sale to finance a Coyotes sale falls apart.

There are several National Hockey League franchises — including the New Jersey Devils and Dallas Stars — that are, or could be, up for sale.

Sources familiar with the Coyotes situation said the deal with Hulsizer may only have a few days to get done, or the entire package could fall apart. "
