It's really seems to me like just a lot of rhetoric and posturing. It doesn't make sense to start announcing plans and securing funding until they know what is going on up North. If Edmonton gets an ounce of taxpayer money, the Flames would be stupid not to piggy back onto that gravy train.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Calgary's new arena opens up before Edmonton's.
