Don't understand the desire to hold out for Calgary Next. That proposal needs a bullet in its head - they can't tell me the dome urgently needs replacing while wanting to build a facility that won't be complete until 2023 at the earliest.

I seriously doubt anything happens until the season is over. I would expect ownership is holding out hope the Flames go on a deep playoff run and then take another run at CalgaryNEXT trying to leverage the playoff run and the uptick in support for the Flames that comes with it.
