Junior isn't an option given the geography. Besides, US junior teams don't draw anything close to what we are used to in Calgary. AHL is probably a given. But, you're trading a posted average of 13k a night for a posted average of 5k a night, at lower ticket prices, and therefore lower rent. The city wouldn't have to subsidize the team much, if at all, but it would get only peanuts back in revenue. Is that better than the current proposal? No idea.
As Vulcan says though, Glendale screwed itself no matter how this resolves.

Re-alignment would need the PA to vote on it. Too late for that and a new schedule so it's too late for QC, if QC was ever an alternative. For some reason I don't think it was.
