There's significant long-term risk in Winnipeg.

My ego would assume I would know how to make the buck - just like every other billionaire scmuck who tries this - and whether or not I was successful would be up to me.

Winnipeg is such a limiting opportunity. In fact, it not even really an opportunity. It's a charitable favour to the community.

I take your point if the only measure of success is making bucks. I don't think that is why the Flames owners are involved.
