A couple years of court crap, but eventually, they will move. Hence my comment.

So all 4 games in this series have been won by the team that got outplayed.
Total gong-show by Hawks in that final 2 minutes... and other stretches of the game.
Happy for the win, but need to be a whole lot better.

So, can they sue and appeal to play next year, or do they have to hope the Suns arena isn't already booked for next season?

I would assume that. Everything goes on as normal until case is closed.

My understanding is ... not at this moment.
The agreement was that the Coyotes ownership, once IceArizona bought the team in 2013, was to take over the task of managing the arena (ie: booking additional performances/sports, day-to-day operations, food service contracts, etc) for the City of Glendale, who actually owns the facility. There was a sweetheart management contract drawn up by IceArizona that the CoG agreed to because they didn't want to lose the Coyotes.
As of right now, there is a tenant (Coyotes), there is a building, but they need to work out a new deal. (Or operate as normal until this is finalized.)

The arena deal costs $15 million (payments to Glendale from the Coyotes bring the cost down to a bit less than $9 million).
The bone of contention is that a former city employee, while still on the Glendale payrol,l was working for the Coyotes. Under AZ law a contract can be voided under these circumstances.
The only people to make money off this will be the lawyers

How did the Hawks win that game?
The Lightning were faster and had a superior tactical game plan.
Quenneville has to come up with some way to beat the zone press. Neither Plan A, to outskate them, nor Plan B, toss the puck high in the air down the ice and get there first, are working.

Seattle! Seattle! Seattle!
Any sports team that needs a yearly infusion of taxpayer cash needs to move.

Not sure it's game planning as much as having 4 fatigued Dmen and 2 bad ones who sit on the bench for 15 mins and have cement legs.How did the Hawks win that game?

Sad what a train wreck this franchise has been since coming to Arizona and it just gets crazier. It really seemed things were settling down after the 15 year deal was signed. This, if possible, makes Glendale look even worse than everything they've done to date. Apparently Glendale barely even let the Coyotes know about this meeting. Thanks Glendale for building a hockey arena where one never should have been built and then harassing our hockey team into very possibly leaving town. Sometimes you really do reap what you sow. Unfortunately many folks in Glendale who had nothing to do with this will pay for this fiasco one way or the other for many years, including possibly paying out in a judgment I'd think the Coyotes have a good chance of winning. The only sliver of hope I see in this as an Arizona hockey fan is the slight possibility something could be worked out to move the team back downtown or into an arena that could get built on the Salt River Pima Reservation or maybe in coordination somehow with the Suns desire for a new arena (maybe redo the Suns current arena for the Yotes?).

Everything I've heard from fans of the team say the same thing, having an arena in Glendale rather than downtown is a huge issue in terms of traffic and commuting etc. That and consistently having a terrible team will result in bad attendance and lack of interest.
Nice to have someone in the area who kinda understands the dynamics of the situation instead of "HURRRR HOCKEY IN DESERT NO WORK!".
