Regarding the Arena discussions I see a lot of fellow Flames fans say that what if CSEC is serious about relocation, what if they see no other way?

There is zero percent chance that the Flames leave Calgary; the NHL is already having problems supporting its 31 teams, some of which don't have the required revenue to be sustainable. Canadian teams on the other hand, in major cities, are a sure bet.

You can build amazing arenas, you can build cup winning teams but you can't build revenue.

edit: This maybe an opinion but its a fundamental fact, there is no financial model that would endorse relocating the flames.
