I have to say, in my experience if your own plans dont work out (CalgaryNEXT) you call in someone from an pay-grade above yours to try and smooth it out.
I hope Nenshi is polite but firm. Say 'No' to CalgaryNEXT. It was a half-cocked scheme at best.
And I'm surprised and shocked that King would think anything otherwise.

However, if a new arena doesn't happen.. (i.e does not have to be CalgaryNEXT)
In my view the Flames will threaten to move the team.
There is a reason the commissioner is meeting with the Major.
I sure there are pressure tactics.
