Recently, debate has started over whether or not a team could relocate to Winnipeg in time for this coming September.The discussion may be much broader than the Coyotes plight but we'll limit discussion to the one team for the sake of space.Just my hunch because of the losses involved so far and ongoing, that the NHL won't leave the Coyotes in Phoenix with themselves as owners for beyond this 09/10 season. Beyond the large losses, it would show all that there are no owners in waiting for NHL teams. This public reality would seriously undermine that $200 million USD asking price for most teams.That means either the NHL sells the Coyotes to someone like Ice Edge Holdings to keep the team there or they sell it to another owner with a blessing to move to whatever locale the new owner wants (so long as it doesn't infringe on any existing NHL territorial limits, Sorry Hamilton, Copps is your Achilles Heel).One assumes that the NHL would normally have a firm timeframe for relocations between seasons.
