Yes, but you don't think the end game of Flames would be "this market isn't viable if we don't get a new arena"? All these owners run the same playbook, across all leagues and all markets.
I'm not saying the Flames can't reference what they do in the community, just that it takes some of the shine off it if they tie it to asking for a huge chunk of taxpayer dollars.
