Arizona bankruptcy Judge Redfield T. Baum has ruled against the NHL in their pursuit of $145 million in damages from ex-Phoenix Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes, according to David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail.
While Baum's decision is just his recommendation, it's a decisive loss for the NHL:
Judge Baum's decision just a recommendation but carries great weight with U.S. Court. Baum left opening for small recovery of damages.

NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly has indicated that the league will appeal the decision in full.
