Except the Flames would be moving to Seattle, not the Flames ownership group. If the Flames leave Calgary it will be through a sale. The Flames owners will have said enough is enough and wash their hands of the hockey team. They will happily take their money and run if they no longer have interest in the venture or think it provides no value to them. If the Flames move to Seattle it is because they were sold and they become property of the group that owns the Seattle arena.
