Its widely renowned as a terrible deal, why would anyone use it as a comparable?

I get it, but now the attitude is:

"The Oilers took a pound of flesh out of the City of Edmonton, now every City has their Guard up."
Pretty common to be told things are off the table in a negotiation. Certainly doesn't mean they are off the table permanently, or that parts of said deal can't be on the table.

These guys are sharper than that.

It's a clear cut comparable, and a logical first position for the Calgary group.
