'Don't quit a job unless you have another lined up.'

If Meruelo wasn't a ####tier owner than the carousel of owners that preceded him, maybe things would look different. Glendale is tapped out, Meruelo wasn't paying his bills, the team and league has made it well known they want to leave and are actively pursuing it, but don't have anything lined up and had no lease security until that time comes. That's their #### up and isn't Glendale's problem.

Well, we all know that nothing can possibly stop a new arena deal from happening at the drop of a hat. Look at Calgary, after all. The Flames decided they needed a new building, and boom, they moved into it the very next day.

The Flames didn't start entering negotiations to build an arena in another city after announcing their intention to move, while their lease was year-to-year with a unilateral ability for the city to end it, while skipping out on payments and etc, etc, etc.
