The idea the Flames would forego the goodwill of owning a local sports team is ALMOST as unlikely as the league letting the team move when there are 3-5 currently unviable franchises in the league looking for better locations.
The BOG would never approve a sale to interests who wanted to move the team, and if the Flames themselves tried to move the team, the BOG would go over Bettman's head and vote against it as well.
Economics, baby.
