It seems like which pots of funding and dollars are used are almost irrelevant now that all parties are entrenched and the rich guys seem resolved to teach everyone a lesson about consequences.
I am starting to believe the flames will be gone soon. I think they'll finally let a sun belt team move to quebec to preserve the canadian tv deal and allow the flames owners to sell to Seattle provided there is interest. Bettman is one of the most obtuse people I've ever seen and will go to extremes to prove he is right
All the chatter about how they will never do it will only push guys like bettman and edwards to do it.
