Stating a fact doesn't make it not a threat.
If I said if you don't give me $100 I am going to kick your ass and I fully intend to do it doesn't make it not a threat. I am still threatening you. That the threat is real of made up does not change that it is a threat.
If the flames didn't want to threaten to move they would say we will do everything in our power to remain a viable franchise in Calgary. By stating the "facts" they are threatening the city and fans.
