I think the only way the ownership group will allow Calgary to move is if they want to use it as an example to warn other cities about what happens when they grow a pair.

The problem for the NHL is that if they ownership group here is forced to build an arena with much less (never mind non-existent) public funding than the norm, every other city that needs an new arena will follow. In the big picture, Calgary may be sacrificed to keep the scam going.
