I just don't get how this deal is at all legal. Looks like he is almost being paid to buy the team; something just doesn't sit right with me.

Why not let Balsille buy it for something ridiculous (say $300M). He pays off the arena, Glendale and the NHL. Have a clause where he has to keep the team in Glendale for 5-years or something. Coyotes get 5 years to turn things around, and even if not, everyone comes away happy.
