I think there likely exists some manner of deal that doesn't see the City hand over hundreds of millions of dollars to what is, if we're really being honest, some billionaire beggers vanity project in exchange for absolutely nothing. And the city should play the hardest of hardball to do that deal.
Really though... do you honestly think anyone on calgarypuck.com actually doesn't want the Flames to remain? If the Flames were demanding $50,000,000,000.00 and people "eff that" do you honestly think that all the people who said "eff that" literally don't want them here? People can simultaneously want the Flames to remain and not be in favour in giving them a taxpayer handout.
You're presenting a false dilemma that doesn't really add to the conversation either.
