Those declining revenues and lack of a building allowing the team to remain fiscally competitive seem to give the owners the out they want, and the support with the other owners that Calgary isn't capable of supporting a team. Add in a successful expansion team taking the league by storm, and another expansion franchise on the horizon, they could easily take the expansion money and then sell the team to the highest bidder and watch the team head south. Seems very plausible. Careful what you wish for.

Thanks Eeyore...
