from Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star,
If Ice Edge LLC nets the Phoenix Coyotes, then it may be thanks to a big assist from Wayne Gretzky.
The group of Canadian and American hockey-loving investors seem to have gotten their wish in getting Gretzky to have a bigger role with the club in the first inkling that the Great One has chosen a side in the bankruptcy case.
“Mr. Gretzky is actively working with Ice Edge Team LLC and Ice Edge Arena LLC (together, the `Ice Edge Group’) who may become the eventual owners of the team,” said a brief the NHL filed in support of its own bid for the bankrupt club.
“We have been working with Wayne very closely throughout this process,” said Ice Edge CEO Daryl Jones. “If we are successful, and we expect to be, he will have a major role in the Coyotes.”

This is all assuming anyone else would WANT Gretzky. He hasn’t proven anything as a coach so far, other than he’s capable of throwing tantrums behind the bench… and he’s had all sorts of time to do so. Who else would have gotten a free pass as a coach this long?
