This is idiotic. The Flames will be losing a significant amount of money moving to Seattle. They'll have to pay a relocation fee which will be significantly more than 100 million dollars, they will have to significantly lower ticket prices, their attendance will be significantly lower over time (just like almost every American city) they will take a massive hit in merchandise revenue and they'll lose a significant amount of money from their TV deal with Rogers.
The amount of money they would lose over a 5 year period would probably pay for the ####ing calgaryNEXT deal.
Really gross tactic by the Flames.
