Well in fairness, Edmonton lead the way on that, and there's nothing wrong witht he Flames ownership saying, hey us too.

At some point there will be public money involved here, in might not be the sweatheart deal that the Oilers blackmailed themselves into, But to say, this should all be private money is fine, but it does make the owners to look elsewhere for a deal that does involve public money.

That's just the way pro sports works.
