I don't think that is fair at all. On Skyrise (where the rumor of the talk hold was leaked prior to the news story and this was the source that got the discussion going on CP) the same poster who posted the rumor said that prior to this deal being signed said "
They gave a week deadline apparently, or they'd move to Houston." Given this person broke this rumor before the news (and actually this person is how CP got wind of the rumor), its fair to assume they have some knowledge.
If the current deal is being speculated that it could fall apart, its more than fair and logical to speak about the "relocation threat" in real terms since the last stance pre-deal by the flames was apparently relocation.
Yes, tons of "ifs" and rumors to be fair however.
Not that I wouldn't laugh the Flames out of the negotiation room if they made that threat... but that is a different point to be discussed as we have seen.
