Yeah it’s not the same as the Cleveland/Baltimore NFL situation since Art Modell owned the Browns and he moved them to Baltimore. I would be very surprised if Meruelo moved the Coyotes. Not like he has an arena anywhere else and I don’t imagine the NHL is in love with him as an owner anyway.
The Mullett situation is tough for the league. If the Coyotes follow through on this auction, there remains a lot of work to do. And still lots of uncertainty.
If they don’t, maybe that’s a sign Meruelo is ready to give up.
