Why are people pretending like the options here are fully private or fully public?
The city currently has an offer on the table that is the second most generous offer any public entity has offered an NHL team in Canada. The city has an offer on the table that has the city and users being on the hook for more than half of construction debt.
This has absolutely nothing to do with financial viability or market size or anything else. It is the Flames owners wanting what Katz got, and are mad they can't get it.
