I've thought for a long time that there's a good chance that Calgary's new arena is complete before Edmonton's, even with Edmonton's seemingly further along the whole time up until now. Sure, the Flames ownership wouldn't turn down government money, but I'm not sure there has ever been any intention by Calgary's ownership to get government involved.

I agree.
Bob Mackenzie even alluded to this fact by saying that the NHL would never approve relocation and if Katz wont build a new rink and a deal cant get done then the NHL would probably ask Katz to sell the team to a local owner who will.
