It's just so weird to me that people get all up in arms about what the NHL/CSEC is doing in regards to a negotiation. It's obvious they are going to want the best deal possible for the ownership group....to do otherwise would be counter-productive to all ownership groups.

I agree, and the same applies to the "threats" to move (of which there haven't been any serious overt examples. I mean, when an owner or King is asked "if you can't get a deal done what will the Flames do - might they move?", how is it a smart tactic to say "No that could never happen - we will just have to build our own arena."? Of course you have to admit that moving is a possibility, if you are also claiming that you need a deal with city to be able to make a new arena feasible.
