from Jim Gintonio of Ice Chips at the Arizona Republic,
Infused with hope after a judge’s decision to keep the Coyotes in the Valley, team President Doug Moss is optimistic about the future.
“As the league said, they don’t give up on their franchises, they don’t give up on their markets,” he said. “I think that the next step is for the league to conduct an auction process and find and owner who wants to operate this team in Glendale and be a success.”
A September auction is likely, and four bidders could be in the mix. The team needs a new owner to step up and make a commitment to keep the team in the Valley—and one who is willing to make some bold moves in the free agency arena.
It will be interesting to see if more than the die-hard hockey fans appreciate an NHL team. This season’s attendance will go a long way in determining that.

He says all this talk about moving the team north of the border makes for a tough situation. “You love Canada and you’d love to come back to Canada, but you’ve been in (Phoenix) for a long time so it makes for a delicate situation.”
