Or so they think.
Dumb looking plan at the moment.

Yeah this new arena is bad news for hardcore fans who are going to have their enjoyment of Flames hockey sacrificed because owners believe they need Iginla in a Flames jersey to sell fair-weather fans on the new building. Meanwhile hardcore fans are left in the cold with a bottom feeder team, a bleak future, propped up by aging star players that are shadows of their former selves. But hey as long as #12 is around to sell jerseys I guess all is well.
