Good article in the Athletic on the competition in facilities (paywalled) and how it affects attracting free agents:

Gondek is out of her mind if she thinks that the City can build and design something and then go to the Flames and say "Here it is...how much are ya gonna pay us to rent it?". |
Not trying to start an argument about it, but wasn't this one of the original proposed models? That the City build an arena and lease it to the Flames?
