Those who think the NHL would allow another team relocate to play in the Saddledome are out of their minds.

If the Flames were to leave (won't happen, public funding will come, and should come), the NHL would require a new building to even begin to contemplate returning to Calgary and even then it's likely a 20 year absence. Oh, and who do you think would pay for the new arena?

No one is going to come into a city like Calgary and privately fund an arena. It won't happen, it's bad business when you look at in a silo - and even worse when you realize there are other cities willing to contribute to arena projects in numerous places around North America.
