To a greater extent it's why the Leafs and Montreal didn't play the staring contest with the city over their new rinks when built.
If Edwards puts his shares up for sale we'll find out how much interest there is in Calgary. I think a lot of people will be surprised. I don't think there would be as much interest as some would hope. Investors are going to have watched this whole arena debate from afar. Would you buy a team that needed a new building? Look at the lack of interest in the Islanders for an example. I hope it doesn't come to that.
