I can't image the Flames are thrilled with resent announcements made by both Seattle and New York. Two arena projects, with private funding. I don't see any way the City backs away from its position now.
The Flames will probably do as they said, "do nothing" and try and wait this thing out but by all appearances, if the Flames want a new arena they're going to be building it themselves.

Were you aware that the Isles moved to Barclays and Wang ultimately sold his majority to the minority shareholders because he couldn't get an arena/development deal with Nassau public money included?
The Belmont Park development is going to be huge and has a lot more profit centres than just the arena (which in turn has a lot more profit generators than just hockey). It's got a hotel, entertainment district, and offices. All of which will be owned by the developers. That's a whole different animal than the Vic Park concept.
