Arizona Coyotes officials will explore relocation if the team loses a legal battle with the city of Glendale, an NHL source confirmed to TSN.

The source said team officials believe they can raise the cash required to pay other NHL team owners a relocation fee after an ownership shakeup this week.

An NHL governor told TSN that it's hard to predict the price of a relocation fee, and said it would probably depend on the market to which the Coyotes' owners are looking to relocate.

Before Tuesday's meeting, Glendale Vice Mayor Ian Hugh said he supports Bailey.

"If I didn't believe him, I wouldn't have voted to void the contract," Hugh said. "I have confidence in our legal department."

An NHL source dismissed the possibility that the Coyotes might return to the U.S. Airways Center this year.
