No. Murray was instrumental in the internal discussion in building the new arena, and how important it would be to the City and team.

Doubt it.
2) The Saddledome is the new Kingdome, iconic and loved but will have serious issues this decade
Yup.
4) Construction costs are only going to rise the next 5-10 years, CSEC should've eaten additional costs entirely and ground should be broken by now
Yes on the first part, but no to the second. Additional costs would have been continued to be assigned to the Flames by the City had they simply agreed to eat this first one.
5) The Arizona Coyotes will be playing in their new Arena in Tempe years before Calgary breaks ground or moves to Houston.
Doubt it. And the latter ain't happening.
