I doubt that we'll see any meaningful negotiations for the next 3 or 4 years. The Flames backed themselves into a bit of a corner by making the strong statement that they won't pursue a new arena, and my feeling is that they won't. They're going to let this stew for a few years, and then start with the courting of other cities, and the Bettman will release statements saying that the NHL would be ok with pursuing a new venue that's not Calgary.
