The last time we left Greg Jamison and his bid to buy the Phoenix Coyotes, the reports had him about $20 million short of the NHL's asking price and seeking more investors to help close the gap.
That was then. Now he apparently has done exactly that, securing additional financing according to Mike Sunnucks of the Phoenix Business Journal.
Two sources with knowledge of the three-year-old Coyotes ownership saga say Jamison now has the investors and partners in place to finally buy the Coyotes and a deal could close very soon.

When Matt Cooke's skate came down on Erik Karlsson's Achilles tendon on Feb. 13, Ottawa's season was truly thrust into its underdog, ragtag phase, all replacements and duct tape.
Jason Spezza's back surgery and Jared Cowen's hip surgery were one thing; the loss of Karlsson, who could control the
The situation facing the New York Rangers is exactly the same as it was two weeks ago, but goalie Henrik Lundqvist has identified one problem that ruins the comparison between trying to dig out of an 0-2 hole against the Washington Capitals and climbing out of the same ditch against the Boston Bruin
The Bruins took a 2-0 series lead over the Rangers in the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 5-2 victory Sunday at TD Garden.
Unlike their previous two games, the B’s didn’t need overtime to secure the victory, as they added to a 3-2 lead entering the third period with goals from Brad March
The Detroit Red Wings have been the gold standard in the NHL for more than a decade, something not lost on the rival Chicago Blackhawks.
This current collection of Blackhawks has been building toward trying to meet that standard, winning the Stanley Cup in 2010 and knowing that knocking off the R
The Penguins arrived in Canada's capital Saturday with a clear purpose and a clearer plan: End this Stanley Cup playoff series with the Senators as quickly as possible, and do so with more of what succeeded in the first couple of games:
1. Superb special teams
2. Star-power scoring
3. Solid if un
The Penguins will have one extra problem to deal with tonight: Ottawa center Jason Spezza is expected back for Game 3.
Spezza held court at his locker Saturday afternoon to share the news that has been much anticipated in these parts.
"I feel good," said Spezza. "It's gotten better and better ever
Just a week removed from the violent turbulence of this postseason's first round, the Penguins have reached a comfortable cruising altitude, even as they keep their seat belts buckled, but since the FAA prohibits more than three aviation metaphors in any lead paragraph, we probably should start talk
When Patrick Roy turned down the Avalanche coaching gig in 2009, Joe Sacco was hired right away to fill the opening. The Avs took some criticism at the time for not conducting a more thorough search.
Joe Sakic will not repeat that mistake. Sacco was fired April 28, and the job remains unfilled, a
In all things hockey, it seems, Randy Carlyle is about moving forward.
The Maple Leafs’ head coach hates the rear-view beyond addressing it briefly and carrying on.
But for the big one that got away Monday night in Boston, the blown 4-1 lead in Game 7 of the franchise’s first playoff appea
Jaromir Jagr was philosophizing, as is his wont.
“I’m 41 and learning something every day,” the Bruins’ No. 68 said following Saturday’s practice in advance of Sunday’s Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Rangers. “The game is quicker than it ever was, and if I w
The Sharks might have been missing their biggest agitator Saturday, but that didn't stop them from playing what might have been their most physical game of this year's postseason.
Faced with the prospect of trailing three games to none to the Los Angeles Kings in this Western Conference semifinal s
Raffi Torres was suspended for the remainder of the Kings-Sharks series due to his hit on Jarret Stoll, which the NHL Department of Player Safety deemed as a hit that made Stoll’s head the principal point of contact.
On Friday, Sharks General Manager Doug Wilson offered his own interpretation o
A practically perfectly executed game got the Detroit Red Wings the split they came into Chicago hoping to achieve.
The Wings leave the United Center this afternoon with a 4-1 victory banked on the hard work especially of their captain, Henrik Zetterberg, who had two assists. After the Wings' dem
As I watch the Stanley Cup playoffs, it’s easy to appreciate the usual amount of dramatic hockey you see. It’s also hard to watch without thinking about it within the prism of the Sabres’ offseason.
What the Sabres do in preparation for the draft June 30 in Newark, N.J., through free agency
Brendan Smith became the social media poster boy for all that went wrong for the Red Wings in the Game 1 debacle Wednesday against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Smith is young and inexperienced — just 24 years old — and he made several costly mistakes in the 4-1 loss. He was criticized during the n
So far in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs, third periods are not the Red Wings' best phase.
The Blackhawks and Ducks have outscored them, 15-5.
But how much does it matter, and is there a specific cause?
Through eight games, the Wings have scored more than their opponents in the third period
Spirits were pretty high in Boston Thursday night after the Bruins took Game 1 against the Rangers on a Brad Marchand overtime goal.
But beyond the celebration and revelry, there was a sobering fact: Tyler Seguin once again failed to show up. Worse, he hurt the Bruins on more than one occasion.
A rare two-day layoff allows the Rangers to decompress from Thursday night’s 3-2 overtime loss in Game 1 here to learn from their mistakes and calm their frustrations (read: Henrik Lundqvist).
That process began Friday afternoon back at the scene of the crime, where John Tortorella walked his pla
The Islanders met together at Nassau Coliseum yesterday for the last time this season and spoke optimistically of a bright future, full of playoff berths and runs at Stanley Cup titles.
But now, the real questions begin.
And they revolve around three key veterans — goaltender Evgeni Nabokov,
Rick Nash has been around long enough to know that he will score another goal.
Two seasons ago, he went eight games without one for the Columbus Blue Jackets, then had an 11-game drought later in the year. He still finished that campaign with 32 goals.

The Penguins took a step backward Friday.
Their timing was perfect.
A 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators at Consol Energy Center staked the Penguins a 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven second-round Stanley Cup playoff series.
“Not a situation you want to be in,” Senators defenseman Chris Ph
It wasn't just the earthquake shifting the ground around Ottawa.
There's a strong possibility Senators' centre Jason Spezza could return to the lineup for Game 3 of the club's playoff series Sunday night at Scotiabank Place against the Penguins.
Coach Paul MacLean told reporters Spezza is cont
Defenseman Kris Letang and winger Craig Adams are not participating in the Penguins' game-day skate at Consol Energy Center today.
There was no immediate explanation for that absence and their status for Game 2 of the Penguins' second-round playoff series against Ottawa tonight at 7:38 is not known
As Maple Leafs GM Dave Nonis wrapped up his season-ending news conference, there was only one player on the roster who received his unwavering support: Phil Kessel.
When he mentioned the names of others — such as pending unrestricted free agent Tyler Bozak and No. 1 goalie James Reimer — there
Bruce Boudreau of the Anaheim Ducks, Paul MacLean of the Ottawa Senators and Joel Quenneville of the Chicago Blackhawks were named Friday as the finalists for the Jack Adams Award, presented "to the NHL coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team's success."
