I agree the Flames will explore all avenues and all solutions before they would move and hopefully they don't.
They both moved in 2017. So it seems like we shouldn't panic until at least 2020 and the Seattle arena is hanging over our heads. Plenty of time to wait out the flames and drive the best deal for Calgary.

Oakland started talking with LV loosely in 2015. But when the NFL screwed them in 2016 about LA they quickly turned to LV in 2016 and in less than 6 months
they announced to Oakland a deal had been reached.
The only reason they are not leaving next year and playing at UNLV is they sold out ST this season at The Oc The fans have rallied because they love their Raiders but they hate Mark Davis and the mayor Libby Schaaf for not coming to an agreement.
They will be physically moved by 2020.
As a Raiders fan I thought there is no way in hell the NFL would agree to have a team in LV as they have been dead against it for the gambling reasons and I thought there was no way Oakland would be that team yet it happened and quickly.
Point being anything is possible when a city and a sports franchise ownership can't be reasonable with each other.
