I know this thread is 45 pages now, so forgive if this question has been asked and answered but why was bettman in town yesterday? did he golf? or was he there to play the real heavy?
personally, I would like to see the flames ask and the city's offer.
and like bingo, I think the way both sides have gone about this is shameful - there should have been more of a partnership from the get go - but what do I know about running a pro sports team or civic politics.
In my current world the flames leaving would nto have a huge impact to me - but given the choice I'd rather see them stay if the right deal is there for everyone.
