It's a dance. the fact they are working quietly tells me both sides are pretty happy with the tune so far. No one can or will be be too quick to agree. There has to be some (very real) evaluation. As details emerge there will be outrage and sensationalism and all that normal stuff. But it will settle.
And then we'll really see where we are at. It'll be pretty clear what the mayor is hoping to get out of this and what his price is (Not in a nefarious sense). And it will be pretty clear where the flames are actually drawing the lines on what they can and can't do.

Do you honestly think Nenshi, in his role as mayor, really gives a crap about whether the flames get a new arena or not?
I'm sure if the Flames said "we're fine with the saddledome and mcmahon for the next 20 years" Nenshi would have been happy.
This is entirely on the Flames.
