Coyotes' Ownership Status To Be On Agenda At Next Month's BOG Meeting

Coyotes GM Don Maloney said that he has "been told the Coyotes' ownership situation will be on the agenda" at the NHL's BOG meeting Dec. 8-9 in Boca Raton, according to Sarah McLellan of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC. However, it is "unclear" whether or not the group "will give its approval" to Andrew Barroway's 51% purchase of the club. Barroway "agreed to buy a majority stake of the franchise Oct. 10, but the deal is still awaiting approval from the league to be finalized." Maloney: "I think we're all hopeful that it will be resolved at that stage. At one point, when it was announced, there was a thought it would happen earlier. So consequently, if it does happen, then shortly there after I'll meet Mr. Barroway and get a better sense of where we're going to be going forward" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 11/23).
