You cannot compare an American team to a Canadian one. The Flames leaving Calgary probably doesn't change the NHL's market in Canada at all. Having a team in Arizona vastly improves the NHL's ability to expand market in the US (though I think we can say didn't work, but the opportunity is there).
I don't think they will leave Calgary, i'm saying if they did though, they aren't ever getting a team back without a new rink. Saying if the Flames left "So what, we'll get another one" is a ridiculous position.
