TSN: Is Atlanta in play? The key point is the question mark at the end of this article’s title. Nobody, even those in the “know’ seem to be able to give a clear indication as to which franchise is in play. One week it’s for sure Phoenix, then the next it’s Atlanta. The losers from all this speculation; fans in Atlanta, Phoenix and Winnipeg.
Globe & Mail: How the NHL could drop the price for the Coyotes. Wonder if TNSE will be getting a similar discount when the time comes. The key line for fans in Winnipeg having a heart attack every time a new article drops;
And that is why most people in the know still think this team is headed to Winnipeg
Winnipeg Sun: Coyotes not coming to Peg says Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz. The mayor is the owner of a professional sports teams so he does know something about contractual obligations but at this point I think people are just guessing.
Canoe: Teemu Selanne in Winnipeg? I think most people in Winnipeg would simply be happy to see the Finnish Flash back in any capacity, even if it’s on the opposing team.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets wouldn’t stay for love nor money. The generosity of people in Winnipeg doesn’t surprise me.
TSN: Jets Meter falls. Word of the “creative financing” between Hulsizer and the COG as suggested by TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger has caused the Meter to drop 2 points. Winnipeg’s collective heart skips a beat.

Windsor Star: Domino’s owner explains the ad he took out in Wpg Free Press. Well his ad sure achieved its goal of getting people talking.
Toronto Sun: NHL’s Daly calls Goldwater irrelevant to Coyotes sale. If they are so irrelevant then why does the NHL continue to speak about the GWI?
AHL News:
Winnipeg Free Press: Moose slip noose. Congrats to the Manitoba Moose (Vancouver Canucks farm team) who came back from a 3-1 series deficit to win Game 7 against the Lake Erie Monsters (Colorado Avalanche farm team) 4-1 last night. They now advance to the 2nd round and have a date with the Hamilton Bulldogs (Montreal Canadiens farm team).
