Beside that, the contract the city just voted to cancel had $195 million in outstanding payments, so the $200 million figure seems fitting. But I agree that the city would cite the revenue streams back to Glendale to try and reduce an award if the tide of legal action turns against them.

This. A claim has the maximum amount you could possibly get if you suffered the most damages possible. The defence will include mitigation - the argument that some damages could be avoided or lessened if the Coyotes take certain steps.
So if a tenant breaches a 10 year lease, the landlord sues for the rent remaining under the lease, but the tenant replies "yeah, but you can rent the unit for the same amount within two months, so you are only out two months rent".
