A City that isn’t even half the population of Calgary is a market that will attract owners because they have a building? Maybe if we were Winnipeg that argument could carry weight but Calgary is a far bigger market, with a far bigger corporate backing.
Very weird to say “maybe I don’t care about Calgary having a team” when I post about this team on this forum for 14 years and also have mentioned numerous times I have Season Tickets. Clearly I care but I don’t think the threat of moving is a real one. The city hasn’t scrapped the deal they are willing to make one. If there wasn’t a willing partner in the city then I would have concern.
End of the day the timing is awful as many trades are seeing massive increases in material and shipping costs that are already pushing a tight budget over the limit. I do think this deal gets done eventually and both sides agree we need a new rink.

I live in Quebec city and there is no chance the Flames move here.
Population aside, Calgary has a huge corporate backing that trump's anything Quebec city can offer.
If ever we get a team it's going to be Arizona. We could probably rake in better money than a few teams but definitely not Calgary.
