If this doesn't stink of pure greed I don't know what does, especially if they weren't willing to negotiate at all on that front. Good on council for sticking to their guns and pushing for this if true.

Even so, I don't think this is as far off as it seems. The Flames simply need to realize that they are not going to be getting $200M with no strings attached and the city will obviously bend and contribute something (much less than 1/3) to get this done.
