I never put much of a second thought into this as its total orange Julius esque and then some. When I was in Vegas 6 weeks ago, a cab driver, yes that's right, told me his brother was with the NHL in some capacity, never believed him for a second. Anyways his brother started in the NHL with the Atlanta Flames. Chatted up about how I was from Alberta and a Flames fan. Anyways, his brother said Arizona will be relocating to Las Vegas. I said no way Bettman lets Arizona get away. He'd fight tooth and nail to ensure that place is successful.
With Daley quoted saying that no team is relocating this year, read that Las Vegas arena isn't complete, and with Arizona and their lease agreement in the news, maybe they are trying to get out in time for the Vegas arena completion and the team will move there for The 16/17 season....
Long shot this guy had a real story but I did push him on some questions just to see how much he knew and tried to trip him up. He knew all that I asked, for what it's worth.
