I love how Bettman said the other day that negotiations are over and when a reporter responded with "For now?" he doubled down with "No, negotiations are over. The Flames aren't pursuing a new building."
Then as soon as Nenshi released the city's proposal, Ken King immediately came out with, "We're planning to release a counter offer in the next few days."
I mean, I think we all knew Bettman was full of it but this is such a blatant reversal. Did anyone seriously think the Flames were throwing in the towel on getting a new arena?
