The Phoenix Coyotes' top executive is confident the team is staying put in the desert.
"I'm planning for next year, we're renewing tickets, we're making plans for next year and, so, I fully expect it," Coyotes COO and president Mike Nealy told QMI Agency and ESPN.com in an interview Thursday outside the team's dressing room.
"I know it's not a guarantee, but I would say I'd put a high probability on it."

Sure they are. It isn't like we've heard this at least once a week for three years or anything.
Nobody in their right mind will buy the Phoenix Coyotes unless the City of Glendale agrees to cover a large part of the team's losses each year. The City of Glendale no longer wishes to do so. Unless the NHL can find a total sucker willing to flush $20 million down the toilet every year, the Coyotes will be playing hockey elsewhere sooner rather than later, and the NHL will finally be able to move on from the gargantuan mistake it made by allowing the team to go to Arizona in the first place.
