Doesn't it mean when you're plan B, that you are being used as leverage?

I think any NHL team that comes here would assume an NBA team would follow suit sometime in the future, just as any NBA team would assume the NHL would. It's been a two-fer stadium plan from the get-go. To think the NHL would assume the NBA dead and gone permanently because of Stern's recent asshattery is preposterous.

Which is why I think an NHL first building is preposterous. The smart move for an NHL owner would be to move here, tough it out in the Key for a bit, and then get to move into a state of the art building with little to no cost to themselves.
Otherwise, if they want construction started, they have to assume the risk, because Hansen ain't paying for somebody else's building, nor do I think Hansen's deal makes any sense for an NHL only facility, it barely makes sense for NBA revenue streams, but it'd work.

"GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Negotiations to keep the Phoenix Coyotes in Arizona fell to a new level of chaos Friday evening, with both Glendale officials and the team's prospective owners saying they cannot overcome their latest impasse.
Unless the sides somehow overcome their differences during the next few days, the Coyotes' fate seems sealed.
Call in the moving vans. Destination: unknown."

It is looking very likely that the team will move... To where seems to be the main question. From what I've read in various articles, Seattle is generally thought of as the favorite, but there are actually several other possible destinations. It definitely looks like the arena deal is gonna fall apart though.

It would take a huge change of heart from both sides to get a deal done tonight, and with how they are talking it seems the team is out for sure. Granted they might move to Quebec not seattle so my hopes are not very high still.
The City Council will decide tonight on just how badly it wants to continue as patsies to professional hockey.
The city has already spent most of its reserves, cut employees and cut services. It’s even contemplating selling city hall to pay off the $30 million or $50 million it already owes the NHL as a result of an earlier shrewd hockey deal.
The city already has one the highest sales taxes in the Valley, so I’m guessing that piling more taxes on its citizens is out. Police and fire, which comprises the bulk of the city’s budget, have already been cut but I suppose you could always hack away some more.
Tonight should be telling as we learn where priorities lie in the city of Glendale.
