If the bond issue fails to go through, which is looking more likely by the hour, Bettman’s only alternative is to sell the Coyotes to True North Sports and Entertainment, which plans to move the team to Winnipeg.

I'll ask the same question here that I asked in the other thread: Why is that their only alternative? Once the requirement to keep the team in Glendale is off the table, isn't there a good chance that other offers might come in that would be better than Winnipeg's?
To the best of my knowledge, Hulsizer doesn't have any ties to the Phoenix area, so why wouldn't he shop around looking for a sweetheart deal in KC or somewhere else?
Balsillie could always poke his head into things again, too.
Once keeping the team in Glendale is no longer a requirement, wouldn't the next logical step be to open the sale to offers from any interested parties?
