The idea that the Flames' ownership is running out of money is patently absurd.

According to news reports, Murray Edwards is no longer a resident of either Calgary or Canada, from which one can reasonably assume that he also pays taxes to neither.
What he is worth is likely not relevant. What is relevant is that (putatively) a non-resident, non-taxpayer is expecting taxpaying citizens of both Calgary and Canada to pay for his toys.
Personally and professionally, I object to that if it is the case.
