The Glendale (Ariz.) City Council approved a modified lease deal for the franchise by a single vote July 2, 2013.

Multiple, well connected, NHL sources have since confirmed the Bartoszek group had trucks lined up to start moving the hockey franchise from Arizona to Seattle the next day. A press conference was tentatively planned in Seattle for the following Monday or Tuesday
