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.

Because Gary Bettman would then look like the proverbial horse's rear end. And that he will not allow to happen.
