GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -The NHL says it has no agreement to move the Phoenix Coyotes to Winnipeg or anywhere else if owners cannot be found to keep the team in Arizona.
Deputy commissioner Bill Daly says that the league’s focus remains on keeping the team in Glendale and “based on the communications and information” the NHL is receiving, those involved continue to be highly confident that the transaction can be completed.
Daly issued the statement on Monday in response to a report in the Phoenix Business Journal that Toronto billionaire David Thomson has an agreement in principle to potentially move the franchise back to Winnipeg if a buyer to keep the team in Arizona can’t be found.
