Questions remain despite tentative deal to sell Coyotes

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sport...rticle2425653/

Random thoughts:

What kind of out-clause will the new owners have? Is a future Glendale council bound by the decisions of this board (I assume it would be too punitive to break an agreement with the new owners, unless they allow the team to re-locate)?

Why isn't the NHLPA more vocal about teams being in better markets, and raising league revenues and salaries?

The Coyotes are over-achieving, and many of the key players are old (Doan, Langkow, Whitney, Aucoin, Morris). What do they have coming-up in the system? Can they continue to be a playoff team?

What does the NHL and new owners know about Phoenix, that we don't know? Eric D. suggests metro-Phoenix is expanding towards Glendale, with more residential areas.
