I think the old threat of moving south is pretty empty now. New stadium or not, you'd have to be ######ed to take an NHL team out of Alberta and put it in Kansas City. Imagine the 7 Year Stretch taking place in a city where the team isn't the only game in town? They'd be begging for us to take them back.
If the Flames need a new building they can build it themselves. I like hockey more than the next guy, but they are paying one guy 85 grand a night. They should be able to build their own rink if they can afford that.
