Beleaguered Phoenix Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes has asked a federal bankruptcy judge for an emergency hearing to order the NHL to mediate the "key sale issues" in the complicated case.
The request was made Thursday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court by the attorneys who filed for Chapter 11 protection on behalf of Moyes on May 5.
The proposal came as Judge Redfield T. Baum considers whether to award the team to the NHL or to Canadian billionaire James Balsillie, who would move the team as soon as possible to Hamilton, Ontario, over the vehement objection of the league.
The filing says the NHL rejected mediation in an e-mail to Moyes' attorneys on Wednesday.
