More Fun with the Phoenix Coyotes

I have a new post up on SportsJudge Blog about the Phoenix Coyotes bankruptcy case. To refresh, the Coyotes filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 5. A lot of issues have been raised since the filing. That in itself is not surprising, considering that the first few days of a bankruptcy case are usually the most hectic. The interesting parts of the case relate to the NHL's involvement. Some of the issues addressed in the post are:
  1. Why did the Coyotes file?
  2. Did Jerry Moyes have the right to file?
  3. Will Jim Balsillie's reorganization plan be approved?
  4. What happens if Balsillie's plan is not approved?
  5. Why did the Coyotes bring an antitrust claim in bankruptcy court?
  6. What happens next.
I hope you have the chance to check it out and let me know what you think.

Update: I have posted a sequel to this post on SportsJudge Blog. I hope you get the chance to check it out.
