I know for a fact these owners would be devastated to see the Flames leave Calgary.

that's nice.
if it was the case that love of the community is so important to them, then why haven't they compromised on a fair deal for ALL sides.
also, why is King still out there helping shred their reputation?
as fans are constantly told, it's business. So who cares how sad and devastated the owners would be if they were "forced" to do move the team. the average fan sure shouldn't care about them.
besides, if they love the community they have such strong ties too, shouldn't they still be charitable if the hockey team wasn't here to make them money?
