Why on earth would they say no to a potential 500-million purchase bid that A) further establishes a precedent that increases the value of their own investments, and B) increases the league's US footprint in a market the league has long been dying to enter? Again I have to emphasize that if the Flames' owners are the ones who blink first the status of these hypothetical five other teams is completely irrelevant. Everybody and their mother were swearing up and down for years that Phoenix was the team that was destined to be moving to Winnipeg, until literally overnight it wasn't. All Murray and co have to do is say 'yes' before any of these other candidates.
