Oh, Yeah... About Gretzky...

((HT: TSN))

Wayne Gretzky's status with the Phoenix Coyotes remains up in the air.

The team's coach was not present Saturday morning for the start of training camp.

A spokesman for the Coyotes said Gretzky's contractual situation with the team remains unclear because of bankruptcy proceedings. Assist coach Ulf Samuelsson will run the training camp on a interim basis.

During a hearing in court Friday a lawyer for the NHL said that Gretzky was involved in "delicate negotiations" over his contract.

Gretzky has been coach of the Coyotes since 2005. He makes US$8 million -- far more than any other NHL coach.
