Thread: Balsillie makes offer on Coyotes

This is going to get interesting.

Move them back to Winnipeg and rename them the Jets.

Ontario Reign?

The NHL now officially controls the future of the team...

Staying in Phoenix would make no sense. They couldn't make money even before the economy crashed. Here's to Balsillie taking control.

Hate to see it.

Balsillie doesn't get control until the NHL says he has control. And if he wants to move the team to Canada, he probably won't get it. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it, but I don't think Bettman wants it

I feel sorry for the fans. I would be shattered if this was the Kings.

any bankruptcy attorneys around here for a little more info?
