Commissioner Gary Bettman said time was running short on the city of Glendale. He said “stuff’s gonna happen” in the next two weeks. He even tossed out the visual of a boarded-up Jobing.com Arena.

The NHL is done running this franchise. The tough words have brought transparency to their relationship with Glendale. Bettman wouldn’t talk about his options, but Seattle and Quebec City are believed to be lurking threats. A report from Seattle said the chilling system and ice-making equipment are currently operational at KeyArena, meaning that city temporarily could house a hockey team next season.

IF (and that's a big if) the NHL decides to move from Glendale, Seattle will be teh destination, not Quebec or Toronto.
The NHL knows QC and Toronto can and will pay a huge amount for expansion fee's but Seattle probably won't or can't.

Still, I highly doubt the Coyotes are moved.

They've been saying "two weeks" for the past two years.

Will have to take the "I'll believe it when I see it" approach here...

I thought the deal with Seattle was "No NBA, No NHL".

Pretty sure the reason the NHL will move them to Seattle before anywhere else is trying to avoid a big realignment fiasco again.

here is another team that should be on the move. Bet they dont sellout this package.

Key Arena is a horrendous NHL arena and it's probably another 4-5 years before the new arena is built. I think Seattle is just a leverage point to finally get a permanent solution in Glendale.

If I lived in the area I would be all over that.

Hell I had season tickets to an ECHL team last season. I just love seeing live hockey.
