This is basically what happened in Peoria. They are losing money, too, but the Blues stepped in and bought part of the team (half?) to stabilize them and keep them there.

I'm sure our owners and Calgary had that discussion, but Calgary must have said "no". I guess I can't blame them with as bad a job as our front office did.

I guess QC still may be a "plan B" if the AHL rejects Abbotsford, but its a long shot, and it may mean our 3rd whole new front office in 3 seasons.
