If the Flames were going to move they would have done it long ago. That's my belief. Frankly I think the owners know they have a great hockey market in Calgary and will do whatever it takes to make a deal and it will get done.

Agree 100%. The only reason the Flames feel like they can make such bombastic, unrealistic requests and expect the citizens to lap it up, is because they're well aware of how favourable the market is for them here.
