DEVELOPING: Glendale May Buy More Time From Bettman...

((HT: Arizona Republic, Sanders))

Rebekah Sanders has been front and center to all of this Coyotes-will-they-or-won't-they move stuff...

The new revelation from her digging is that the City of Glendale may buy more time from the NHL to either settle, or not settle, their reworked deal among themselves, Matthew Hulsizer, and the Goldwater Institute.

There is no idea at present how much more time US$25-million will buy from the National Hockey League, but we'll know more after the Tuesday vote at the new City of Glendale council meeting...

Maybe one more year...

2315 UPDATE: In a conversation with TSN's Dave Naylor released through his Twitter feed, Glendale City Councilman Phil Leiberman thinks: "I think it may pass 7-0 or 6-1. All of us want to buy more time."

Actually, not ALL of you...

Also, Puck Daddy has the versions of truth from the Phoenix Business Journal and the Winnipeg Sun...

Mike Sunnucks from the PBJ has a quote from Bill Daly...

“As we have for the past two-plus years, we have been working very closely with the city of Glendale to do everything possible to ensure the Coyotes’ future in Glendale. At the city’s request, we have agreed to pursue another one-year interim arrangement while we jointly pursue a long-term ownership solution. We remain confident that one exists, and we intend to continue to pursue it.”

And the Winnipeg Sun piece from Paul Friesen surmises that Hulsizer wouldn't have been interested in closing the deal this year, anyway, because he wouldn't have been a party to the revenue sharing at the league level or his arena payment for managing jobing.com arena...

Forbes.com's Mike Ozanian was reporting Hulsizer was shifting his gaze to the St. Louis Blues, but his Peak6 partners are denying that move in quotes with the Globe and Mail's Eric Duhatschek.

More when we know more...
