“We were having a theoretical conversation about the importance of arenas and major league sports franchises to a city, which he indicated he didn’t believe in. I said, ‘Well … what if the end result of this is that the Flames have to move?’

Burke

In what has been the bluntest talk yet about the future of the Calgary Flames, president of hockey operations Brian Burke said the NHL team will move if a new arena is not built.

King

The facts are we need a solution and if it is deemed that there is no made-in-Calgary solution we will have to make a decision at that time, which logically could include deciding to move the team

... seriously. C'mon man don't try to sell us that they're not threatening to move. They're 100% threatening to move, they're just saying "We're not threatening to move"... and then proceeding to threaten to move. If some thugs were to walk up to you and say "we're not going to threaten to kill you if you don't hand over your wallet, we'd just kill you" would you not report being mugged to the police?
