And for the Flames, show me another city they could pick up and move to and earn $121M in Revenue and $18M in profit?

Phoenix would have been thrilled to move anywhere for the past 5 years, but the NHL wasn't having any of it. Why would moving a team to Calgary be any different?
The NHL does not need to expand it's Canadian market, it already has it cornered. They'll move a team here if they absolutely have to, but they clearly see it at a last resort.
There's no way they are letting another team move to Calgary to play in a 30 year old rink.
