Phoenix Coyotes

TSN has reported that Judge Renfield Baum will be making a decision on the fate of the Phoenix Coyotes later today. And while some fans in Phoenix are already carving a headstone for their 'yotes, some are waving a white flag, and Hamilton hockey enthusiasts are rejoicing in optimism, I honestly think they are not going to move. I recently went onto HFboards and expressed my opinion on the Coyote's page, I have read more into the team, the fans, and the support, and I genuinely feel guilty for expressing such pessimism for their team.
Regardless, this is me saying, that the team will stay in Phoenix. MLB, NBA, and NFL are all against the move, as are NYC governors, NHL governors, and NHL owners. Even though the move may be nothing but beneficial to the league, and to the revenue of the NHL, Judge Baum has endless documents supporting the NHL, and just as endless a supply of reasons to keep the team in Phoenix.
All he has in favour of the Hamilton move is a positive outlook on the financial situation of Balsillie and his potential future team in Hamilton. And even though that usually is enough supporting documents to merit a relocation such as this, he has the whole sports world supporting the Coyotes cementing their feet permanently into Glendale.
