Coyotes bankruptcy update: NHL wants control of Coyotes

I found this story while posting on my hockey related page. I'm sure hockey fans have been following this saga in Phoenix.

My advice to the NHL; talk with Prez Obama, he knows all about taking over private sector businesses and property. "Cash for defunct hockey teams" program can't be far away.
