Hmm. this Phoenix situation is getting serious. Every potential buyer who declared that they would keep the team in Phoenix wanted to have a clause ensuring their own monetary safety, (basically they want to be reimbursed when the team inevitably loses money) which is something that the city of Glendale and the NHL are refusing to do. There's also issues over lease agreements, as the potential owners want to have the freedom to pull out in a couple of years, if necessary.
The only buyer left (at this point in time) is a guy who is willing to move the team back to Winnipeg, no strings attached. This might actually happen after all, and the NHL has supposedly created two schedules for next season: one for Phoenix and one for Winnipeg. Winnipeg probably isn't the best market at this point, but at least they won't be putting up massive losses every season. If it happens, it would suck for Coyotes fans, but that's the way business works, I guess.
