The business decisions of the owners outside of their CSE operations should not be considered at all during these negotiations imo. So what the owners have less money than before? Somehow this means to some people that the city should comp them a free cash cow?

I think that’s a fair counter but it also is just a function of how much people view the threat of the Flames leaving.
Personally if I was a billionaire with ownership in the Flames and my wealth eroded to a fraction of what it was I would not be signing up to build a hockey rink and would post haste be trying to sell out but hey, who knows.
