Gary Bettman, the NHL commissioner, has also denied the report:

What else can they say? They have to indicate they're dedicated to Arizona, even if they're facilitating a move. Just 48 hours before the Atlanta Thrashers announced their move to Winnipeg, Bettman and the NHL denied the rumours.

To that end, I fully anticipate Bettman and the Coyotes to stick to the business line.
