Won't be long before Bettman and NHL come knocking on Calgary's door to come back.
NHL/Flames don't have be the only game in town. Transform Calgary from Flames/O&G to something else.
I'm sure the Stamps/Roughnecks/Hitmen would all go up for sale as well, local groups will pick them up.

You're delusional. The Flames leave town, there won't be another team coming Calgary's way for years. And why would the city build a new arena after they just forced their current NHL team to bolt? They're going to build a new arena without a tenant? Yeah, keep dreaming.
