According to Coyotes PR guy Tim Bulmer, Captain Shane Doan will be appearing on NHL Live today at 3:40 p.m. MST.

AM 1060 reporting that the Coyotes deal should be done within 48 hours. More on this as we get it.

Discuss.

PHOENIX-Earlier this morning, a Russian sports publication, Sport-Express, posted an article that appears to have said that Phoenix Coyotes prospect Viktor Tikhonov had requested a trade from the Coyotes to another NHL Team.

A source told me this morning that Tikhonov just wants to play in the NHL but no requests for a trade have been made.

As we have stated in our previous article on the matter, Tikhonov’s priority right now is making the Coyotes opening day roster.

The Sport-Express article looks to be just one of those ‘lost in translation’ situations where a father just wants what’s best for his son as opposed to a trade demand.

::Update::

The Coyotes got back to me via e-mail and it’s ‘not true’ that Tikhonov has requested a trade.

Was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about Ice Edge and them purchasing the Phoenix Coyotes? I'm starting to get impatient wondering if its all gonna go through or not.
