Lets just all drop this pretense. The flames aren't moving. There have been lots of reports that the city has been making progress lately, removing any impetus (I have never really thought there was any anyways) for the nhl to keep threatening a move. It's much more likely that the BOG would force Murray to look for a local buyer first. If he is still threatening a move, then hes a bigger baby than previously imagined- the taxpayers of the city shouldn't have to subsidize his foray into the land development world. If theres a fair deal to be had then the city should be flexible, but the flames have not come close to proposing a fair deal yet, publicly at least.

We don't really know if it's true that he wants to sell but if by chance it is true it certainly doesn't appear he's threatening to leave rather than simply making plans of leaving in the event they can't make it work in Calgary. He's not publicly saying anything so he's not making any threats. I certainly can't fault him for keeping his options open. It's his team after all not ours and if he's had enough of Nenshi's act then it is what it is. Flames would be a great pickup for Houston as they are in the middle of the rebuild and competitive with some good players in place.
