All loses covered by the taxpayers, leaving the Flames to spend money elsewhere.
Closest affiliate in modern history, call ups are usually 45 minute flight away most of the season. Also works the other way, easier for management and coaches in Calgary to keep tabs on the prospects.
They haven't had the best sized crowds but does that hurt development?

Terrible travel.
Awful crowds.
Loss of practice days.
More injuries because of the travel.
