Yeah, I don't think there is an imminent threat, but if the Dome runs through its lifespan without a new deal in place, it is almost a certainty that the team would leave. No viable arena means no team, end of story. It doesn't matter if the market is viable if the team doesn't have an arena up to modern standards to play in.
The Flames have 11 years left on the lease which brings it right up until that point, so there is still time to work it out, but the goal line is also definitely in sight.
