from Elliotte Friedman of CBC,

Jamison says he will continue to pursue ownership, but how?

If he had the money, this would be over. If he could find a willing partner to take advantage of the sweet lease deal, this would be over.

Or was he asking for something that potential partners didn't want? Maybe a stake in ownership without putting up the cash for it? Maybe a contract as president or a consultant-type role? We'll probably find out the answer to these questions when we learn the answer to the next one.

Is there anyone else willing to try?

A lot of skepticism. We've been down this road before, but there are reports everywhere that Matthew Hulsizer, linked previously to both the Coyotes and St. Louis Blues, will take another run at this.

One of the more interesting theories is that there will be some kind of partnership with the Tohono O'odham Nation, which is trying to build a casino in Glendale, but that's mired in a huge legal fight.
