I think the Flames would have more tact than to threaten to move. Besides, they and the NHL know it's just an empty threat, and would just piss off the fanbase.
So with the assumption that they wouldn't play that card, I'd still be ok with up to $200M in public money towards building the new arena. To me, I'd use it way more than the new public library, so for my own interest's sake, I'd be more beneficial.
