Of course, that’s a lot of ifs, but it theoretically could happen. I do suspect that the Flames would become willing partners before it came to that though.

We built a fancy new arena and we're tearing down the dome. Rent is X, let us know if you're interested?
It would still probably make sense to partner, because the flames would likely kick in capital so they'd have a day on design (#of boxes, parking space for trucks on the concourse, etc)
