Nenshi just went on holidays so I can't imagine anything happening soon without him being here. Not that I was expecting anything happening that soon.
Since everyone seems to be running away from the Winter Olympics, my guess is that there is some pitch that involves 2026 so that everything can be upgraded. If they can give them to Bejing (with no mountains) then we'd be in good shape. The facilities here seem to be in pretty decent condition still so it won't cost much more (relatively speaking) to fix them up. With all the infrastructure announcements going on it will just tie-in everything perfectly with timelines. Flames get arena/stadium with a public/private partnership, city probably gets a good fieldhouse tied in somehow. Everyone is happy except taxpayers...
It's a Friday afternoon before a long weekend and I might have had a cocktail or two so why not have a little alcohol-induced speculation.
