Talking Stick is on reserve land. I'm not sure the NHL wants to get into the legal issues associated with sovereign lands. There's a reason why the native bands buy naming rights to existing buildings rather than building their own and try to woo a tenant.
I can't think of anything off Bell or Legacy that would meet the parcel requirements and then the zoning requirements. They would have to do something in around Notre Dame Prep, and then bury the building to meet airspace restrictions for the airport. There are just so many powerful communities up there that would restrict development or sue to prevent it. There's a reason why much of Westworld is the dump it is. They can't get development permits to develop anything.
