The NHL made its case for keeping the Coyotes in Phoenix for the upcoming season in United States bankruptcy court.The hearing before Judge Redfield T. Baum postponed without a decision on whether Jim Balsillie, the Research in Motion executive, could take part in an auction for the Coyotes. There was no immediate news on when the judge will rule on the issues. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly were both in attendance in the court.
Balsillie's camp told Baum it would even be willing to move the club during the season. "You want to talk about disruption of families and players and the fan base," League attorney Shepard Goldfein said. "I don't think that's ever happened. I'm not aware it's ever happened."
