from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
Declarations filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court last night by the NHL on the heels of filings by Phoenix Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes and prospective buyer Jim Balsillie promise that what was supposed to be a scheduling hearing next Tuesday will be a donnybrook.
Moyes and Balsllie fired first when they asked the court to rule at Tuesday’s hearing that the NHL has to turn over documents relating to the sale and consent to the examination of commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly by Moyes’ and Balsillie’s lawyers.
The NHL fired back by filing a lengthy argument that Balsillie’s $212.5-million (all currency U.S.) bid for the Coyotes should be rejected by the court because Balsillie was already rejected as an owner by the NHL governor. The league’s lawyers said in the filing, backed up by declarations from Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs, the chairman of the league’s board of governors, and from Minnesota Wild owner Craig Leipold, that the NHL’s constitution and by-laws should be upheld ahead of the bankruptcy code and anti-trust law.
