Phoenix Coyotes front office, players reeling as Greg Jamison's bid fades

That has Coyotes officials and players, as well as Glendale City Hall, reeling from the increased possibility that no one wants to, or can, buy the team and keep it in the Phoenix market.

“No one in the front office knew of this and they are reeling,” said one local sports marketing executive who is close to the hockey team but asked not to be identified.

Coyotes officials are not commenting on the situation. But privately, officials with or close to the team and city are in the dark regarding the Jamison bid. This comes after voicing some optimism earlier this week he would beat the Jan. 31 deadline. “Many have been 100 percent duped,” said one local executive who has been close to Coyotes deal.
