what asinine thinking it was in the first place to think that a Flames farm club could survive in Canucks territory. Ken King was an idiot for even considering it

I don't think he was stupid. The QC investors wanted out and the City of Abbotsford approached the Flames with an offer to bring the team there and cover losses. It's a pretty good deal for the Flames no matter what happens in the future.
It beats the alternative of not having a farm team again. There don't seem to be a lot of cities begging for an AHL team.
If Atlanta does move to Winnipeg, they might be a good place for a Flames farm team. At least the logo would already be there.
