I don't even think it will get to the auction. I think the league has already put pressure on Mereulo to sell and that news is starting to leak out. They are handling this very much behind the scenes imo as much as possible. Just because the auction is going ahead does not mean the Coyotes are going to win it or that they are even going to be around to bid on it. It makes zero sense for the NHL to wait on this while the Coyotes bleed money with n owner who hadn't been very reputable when they have another market and arena waiting to go. They can always revisit Arizona when the arena is done.
