from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
A new twist in the ongoing Duel in the Desert emerged yesterday, one that might see the Phoenix Coyotes wind up in Las Vegas in a couple of years — with the NHL’s approval.
In a scenario brought to light by a source in Phoenix familiar with the letter of intent — or potential offer, or whatever the NHL is calling the document it has with Jerry Reinsdorf’s signature on it — Reinsdorf’s autograph is the only thing the owner of the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bulls will put toward the Coyotes, since any cash will actually be provided by a couple of other would-be owners.
Those fellows, the source said, are movie and television producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Harry Sloan, the chairman and chief executive officer of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.

Could the Phoenix Coyotes be heading back to their old stomping grounds of Manitoba after a 13-year absence of NHL hockey in the province?
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman told officials with Phoenix Coyotes that the NHL would consider moving the team to Winnipeg but not Hamilton, court filings show.
