That's the best you've got? I guess I could have worded it better but in his recommendations, if all things being equal he may have favoured remaining in Phoenix. I guess you've never heard of home town decisions, or the champ or the status quo becoming the easy way of deciding. To his credit at that stage, he didn't do this, he recommended that the two parties enter negotiations which would have resulted in the team moving.
In the end, his judgment wasn't based on the most benefit of the creditors, it was based on the NHL's claimed rights. He even gave the NHL a second kick at the cat when their first bid didn't address a couple of the main creditors.
