Flames are not stupid, and know that if they were to reneged the deal, and ask for more money, that the blowback will be brutal in light of covid, the energy sector being #### even before the pandemic hurting the city, and overall less money to work with now. Plus, I don't think Bettman/NHL as a whole will be pleased with the Flames going back on a deal they made since it kills trust and commitment; just as it would with the city doing it.
Also it's just one side of the differences that were hearing right now. Who knows what the city may be asking for in return?
The project will still go ahead once they resolve the issues. It's in the best interest of both parties to do so. Think we can roll it back on the theatrics a bit. Although the whole intention of leaking that info was to invoke this exact response from the general public.
