Because the Flames pay it back.
It is an accounting trick though, because the Flames never actually pay any of that money out of pocket. The city does, and then the fans pay it back as a user fee. The benefit for the Flames is while they could just front the money themselves and then raise ticket prices to compensate, I would bet that a tax that goes to the city instead would not count as HRR payable to the players.
