there are undoubtedly a lot of complexities that aren't understood about the situation.
However, the most basic isn't that incomprehensible:
Phoenix's operating cost < revenues generated.
There is no reason to think that this is going to change under Hulsizer, and even worse, no reason to believe he won't bolt after 3-5 years having Phoenix's taxpayers pay for the operating losses. Either moving or selling the team for a profit paid for by the taxpayers.
Calgary is fortunate that we have an ownership group, whose risks/losses are dispersed amongst their shares, and who see it as a civic venture and not simply a business.
