Correct.
Obviously, Calgary is a better hockey market than <insert any non-NHL city>. But when it comes down to negotiating hundreds of millions of dollars for a new arena, compared to some other city coughing up an arena for nothing, that tilts the scales rather significantly.
Of course they would rather remain here. But an arena deal will have to come together, or other options become viable.
