I assume the NHL knows it can move to quebec in the same amount of time it took to move to winnipeg. If you announce they are moving now attendance drops to zero for the rest of the coyotes season and the owners are on the hook for the losses.
If you pretend to have another phantom investor until phoenix is out of the playoffs you can maximize this years revenues. I would suspect this buyer disappears at the end of april and the team is moved.
