Making a threat with no backup just makes you look foolish.

Flames ownership has been remarkably tone deaf recently, especially with their talk of relocation.
In the here and now, its not a viable threat. What they should be calmly noting is that if there isn't a replacement for the Saddledome in 10 or so years, relocation might actually be a risk since the facility might actually be losing money at that point, and be too expensive to fix.
