And Re: Nenshi. The Flames could have an arena tomorrow if they wanted. They cannot and will not have the entire thing paid for by the city + infrastructure + no property taxes + no lease + future holographic scoreboards etc. Nenshi is not negotiating the deal. He is one vote of a council that voted unanimously against CSEC's proposals.

First off he's the mayor, the CEO of the city. Stop acting like he's only got as much power as Evan Wolley. This "only one vote" routine is tired and misleading.
Secondly, right after a new team or ownership group gets established in Calgary the first thing they'll do is....start working on a new stadium deal. This issue isnt going away as long as there's an NHL team in this city, which judging by your assertion that the coyotes will immediately move here sounds like is your preference.
