Seems more like you guys are clinging onto a strawman to overlook how godawful and embarrassing the deal is.
The NHL not only isn't making overwhelming financial concessions and subjecting itself to ridicule by playing in a tiny arena, but they've also caved in to just about every demand - even letting ASU make a dent on the sacrosanct branding of the league.
The Coyotes won't even get to show their logo in center ice - ASU gets it. They can't sponsor or sell concessions willy nilly either, ASU has to OK arena partnerships or beer sales. The Coyotes make improvements to the arena, well, ASU gets to keep them all with no compensation. Parking revenue for Coyote games? That also goes into ASU's pockets. The NHL gave up normal revenue supplements and much of their branding power in spite of already taking major losses to play at ASU at all.
The "good behavior" clause is a flex from ASU acknowledging they have all the leverage and that there's nothing the NHL can do about it, because the league is so bloody stubborn about making the Coyotes work in spite of the perennially hemorrhaging finances. If the deal somehow sours from ASU's perspective, they have a potential out that can saddle the NHL with 100% of whatever problem the Coyotes would hypothetically introduce.
It's fine to want the Coyotes to succeed despite the odds, but you can't just put the blinders on and pretend the NHL isn't being bent over here. If anything, it shows the league will pay any cost - whether financial, PR or intangible - to make the NHL work in Arizona. For their part, ASU literally gets a major league tenant while getting to promote their own brand and get ancillary revenue - all without needing to put forth their own product. It's actually free real (and intangible) estate.
