Good comments from Stephen Brunt on Friday from the guys in the AM show. Worth a listen. Starts immediately from the link.

Listen

Recap:
  • Doesn't think Flames will get the Edmonton deal.
  • "Would bet his life" on the fact that the Flames will not leave Calgary, "all threats are empty".
  • Doesn't buy into any studies showing arenas provide great benefits/jobs. More of a money shuffle.
  • Calgary is not a small market, it is a large market in terms of hockey, profitable operation.
  • "Lots of people would love the opportunity to sell tickets in a market like Calgary".
  • If the Flames continue to lose the PR battle, feels Flames really don't have any leverage.
