Hmm... Although it would be a shame to see the Flames leave Abbotsford after spending so much money and time investing in the area, but from a higher up stand point this makes far more sense for the city of Abbotsford. I can also see why Vancouver would want the Flames out. The Heat have been doing alright, but if they were the Canucks team they'd be a much stronger financial franchise and that would help ensure the viability of the team with city hall.
It seams like it'd be a win for Abbotsford, a win for the Canucks and a meh for the Flames unless Utica is making a sweet deal. I know PMM can't say anything, but I'd be curious what would happen to Ryan Pinder (I hope that's right), Ward and others?
