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.
