Nenshi is right. I don't care if he hurts Ken King's feelings.
Flames group is wrong. They have more than enough financial ability to get this taken care of by themselves. Just negotiating the best deal.
I hope city council and the mayor stay firm. If the Flames threaten to move, then call their bluff and tell them to leave. People often get blinded by the nostalgia but forget that the Flames are a business like any other and are owned by a group of normal, regular human beings...although they're extremely rich. What I mean to say is....forget the team...make this a Public vs Murray Edwards et all....
This ownership group doesn't have the balls to move this team, nor will it be allowed by the NHL....so stay firm Nenshi/council...stay firm.
