Nobody is moving a fresh team here without a new arena. Not a deal to build to one where the new team pays half. Not happening. That’s where people have the leverage all wrong, it’s all on the teams side and not on the city. The city needs a new arena much more than a potential NHL franchise does because they have options and we don’t. Maybe you don’t care about Calgary having a team, which is fine, but if you do then we need a new arena within the next 5-7 years.

No you can’t. QC doesn’t have near the corporate partnerships or overall wealth that Calgary does. If it did it would have a team already.
