I would be extremely surprised. Not on a basis of principle (Salt Lake may well be able to support a team better than Phoenix) but rather practicality. They're not going to give up on this until they exhaust all options in the Phoenix area, and if the NHL or the BoG were intent upon forcing the issue, they would've done it after the vote failed. It looks like the Coyotes are trying to establish redundancy for themselves in case the Mesa inquiry falls apart, so I suspect this won't be resolved for quite a while. Their initial deal at ASU covers four years — wonder if they'll end up being there five.
