Maybe Edwards doesn't really like Calgary? Maybe Edwards has found new meaning in London? Maybe he would like to divest himself of all his properties in Calgary and just call it a day?

Wouldn't that shake the city to its foundation?

I think we need to see the Flames proposal to the city before we start mass panic. I think we all know they want a full entertainment district, as that was core to their original presentation. I suspect this will still be core to their proposal, or at least give them an avenue toward achieving that goal. I still contend this is about executing Nenshi's vision, or the Flames vision. We will likely find out in the next 48-72 hours what that looks like. Then we can start the panic.
