Arizona Coyotes players have been informed the NHL club is expected to relocate to Salt Lake City, a person with knowledge of the meeting said Friday night.

Coyotes players were not available following Friday night's 3-2 overtime win over Edmonton and head coach Andre Tourigny said he would only take questions about the game. The Smith Entertainment Group in January said was interested in bringing a hockey team to Salt Lake City and had the immediate ability to facilitate that. The team would play in the Delta Center until a new arena could be built. That announcement included the request to initiate an expansion process.

The trouble continued for several years, and the NHL went from paying the team's bills to assuming operational control of the organization in 2008.Moyes put the team into bankruptcy and was stripped of his remaining ownership after word emerged he intended to sell to Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie of Blackberry fame, who planned to move the team to Hamilton.
