There are a finite amount of NHL teams available.
Cities are willing to pay (build stadiums to get one)
If another city is willing to pay for a stadium, the Flames will either move or Calgary will have to pony up.
If no city is willing to build a stadium then the Flames will pay themselves or stay in the Dome.
Whether or not a city "should pay to subsidize millionaires" is irrelevant if ANY city is willing to do so who does not have a team.
