Some fans might be, I wouldn't. I've seen various AHL games over the last 20+ years and by and large it's not a cohesive team hockey game. Most players are playing "their" game trying to stand out. It can be sloppy ugly hockey. Junior can be the same but it's more due to young an inexperience which I don't mind.
If the Heat land in Calgary it'll be four a handful of years before they find another solution. It won't make a blip.

If the Flames have to bankroll the AHL team whereever it goes, they'd probably do better with it in their own arena because at least they get the consession and parking money and don't have to pay rent to a third party.
