Just wondering whether this is a hopeful sign that the NHL is demanding the Coyotes be closer to a cap ceiling team, than a cap floor team.
Uhh no. The league has no say about that at all.
They want both sides to have more equity in the team. The initial plan was that both would put in $15 million, but that probably didn't satisfy the league. That'd be like Barroway buying the team with 5% down, if we're pretending that the 300 million evaluation is real. The definition of acquiring something with the intention of flipping it later.
