Not necessarily, theres all kinds of reasons to hold an asset, dont forget, its an ownership group, not a single owner. I know Edwards gets most of the credit and stick, but its a group.

The fact of the matter is that they own an asset that has appreciated in vlue over time, kind of like a house, you can use it as collateral (not that they need it) you can borrow against its value and invest, hell, you can keep it as a shiny bauble if you want.

The fact of the matter remains that the money from the Calgary Flames is insignificant in comparison to the owners' other ventures.

I dont think the Calgary Flames' value is going to significantly decrease any time soon.
