Be sure to check it out.

NHL news:

CBC:  Oilers’ Daryl Katz apolgizes to Edmonton fansGood move.  Fans don’t ever like having a gun put to their head and especially for those in Edmonton who have supported the team in such poor times, it just wasn’t the right play by Katz and company.

Sarnia Observer:  Yakupov released to play in KHLAppears the #1 draft choice overall is getting his wish and can now legally play in the KHL.

The Hockey News: Future of Coyotes uncertain as everMakes you wonder what Shane Doan was told back on September 14th to convince him otherwise.

USA Today:  Jamison close to keeping Coyotes at Jobing.com ArenaAnd now an article that says the opposite of the above article.  Gonna wait until their is a signing ceremony before we believe it.
