Agree to disagree then. I feel CSEC knows they'll make a lot more with a new arena even if they have to pay rent/property taxes than they would moving the team elsewhere. Especially if they want to get into real estate, and develop around the arena. They'll just be able to make even more without having to pay an annual fee to the city.
They're just making a strong bluff in the public battle since they want to see if they can alter the negotiating environment. (Council changes)
