The drama continues to unfold in Glendale.
After Glendale city council voted to terminate the lease agreement that would see the Arizona Coyotes play at Gila River Arena, team co-owner Anthony LeBlanc remained adamant Thursday that the club has no plans of relocating.
LeBlanc held a conference call Thursday where he explained that the team has not considered relocation and that despite the ownership group having an out-clause, they do not plan to use it, opting to stay in Glendale.
Asked if #Coyotes are considering move to Las Vegas, Seattle or Quebec, LeBlanc says, "No." Says team not getting out now.

LeBlanc suggested that there may come a time where he doesn't have a choice in the matter, but noted he hasn't thought that far down the road.
"If that goes sideways ... We have to figure out what our Plan B is," said LeBlanc. "We believe in this market. We're moving in the right direction."
LeBlanc says IceArizona has not received any official notice about city's vote. "We have a lease until we're (oficially) told otherwise."

LeBlanc insists ownership will be taking legal action in the coming days, and maybe then the future of the team will become more clear.
