Not sure about that... you're saying that a team that has been losing boatloads of money will think they best way to stem that will be to move to a location where they can spend hundreds of millions more to build an arena so they can start making money back?
Besides, maybe it's just me, but doesn't the arena have to exist already before the NHL OKs the move? Someone would have to build the arena before they get a team, and they buy/move someone else.
Just not as simple as some people make it out to be.
Either way, I still don't think the Flames are moving anywhere.
