Coyotes Update: Reinsdorf Officially Enters the Fray
The Biz of Hockey :: The Business of Sports Network —
In an expected move and after most likely a bit of arm-twisting from NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, sports magnate Jerry Reinsdorf filed a $148 million offer to buy the Phoenix Coyotes.

If the Supreme Court affirms the ruling, it could give rise to a backhanded ...
