...I can't tell what you're arguing with me about. People seem to think there's zero chance they could move and I'm pointing out reasons why I think they could, most notably through just washing their hands of their 1/31 share of the NHL and collecting their massive capital gains. I don't think it'll happen, I'm reasonably confident that both parties will come to an agreement with the knowledge that Calgary is better with the Flames and the Flames are better with Calgary, but it's a possibility.
I'm a little astonished at the hardliners who are daring the team to move by not supporting the use of public funds in any way, but at the same time are morally outraged that the team would threaten to move. Pick one.
