Hands up: How many people thought that Murray Edwards would go from big Trudeau financial booster to relocating his residency out of country less than half way through Trudeau's tenure?
Honestly, if the Flames ownership group cannot make the Flames a viable business with reasonable support and investment from the City (and I do support reasonable investment by the City to support the Flames), and no prospective purchasers are willing to keep the team in Calgary (with the same reasonable investment), then I am willing to accept that Calgary is not large enough or wealthy enough to support an NHL team at the moment. It would be sad but so be it.
