Why don’t they do that then? If there is no benefit to them, why would they even bother negotiating? Every dollar the taxpayers pay into funding a new arena for the flames to make money with is a dollar the flames didn’t have to pay themselves. Do you believe that having the city spend 100’s of millions of dollars instead of the team itself is not a benefit to the flames?

No it isn't. But obviously this is a "fight" and something you don't want to "fall for". CSEC is "bluffing" and some people think we need to "freeze out" the other side.

I get it. This whole discussion is nothing but a negotiation and nothing anybody says makes a difference. Just talk tough and don't budge. Say whatever it takes to get the best deal. No wonder CSEC left the table.
So you’re frustrated that the city is taking the same approach as the flames?
