Bettmen is doing the correct thing now.
State the flames aren't talking about a new arena right now and that they will do their best to turn a profit. They took their shot at the election and lost. The next pressure point is the Olympic bid. So the Flames will do nothing until the city comes and asks them if they want to be part of an Arena for the Olympics.
Until an Olympic decision is made there is no reason for the Flames to change their public stance. Once it's made we will see the rhetoric start up again.
