King said they were not going to wait for an insurance cheque to start replacing items. Also while he said the Flames were fully insured, it is possible the insurance company may find/build in loopholes to the coverage that perhaps won't see the Flames being fully reimbursed. The Flames are also reportedly having crews work on the Saddledome 24/7. Don't believe the insurance company will cover the cost of overtime or added workers.

Just putting it out there, that perhaps Feaster doesn't have the budget he had 2 weeks ago.
You can add to that that there is a chance that some games will not b played in the Dome this year, which would obviously be detrimental to revenues.

I believe losing regular season games is unlikely, but losing any of the 4 pre-season games would be a bit of a blow to revenues. Those games are pure gravy.
