For sure, and ultimately it's moot, but I'm sure there are several items beyond the real estate which could have been better clarified to avoid future pitfalls...things like insurance were brought up in the council meeting, but I don't think most councillors actually digested the implications.

If you argument is not in the next decade that is fine , but under no circumstances is completely wrong .

No one actually believes no stadium is coming eventually . It is just posturing and negotiating

IMO moving is possible, but highly unlikely. Especially considering the city has already agreed to a more than fair deal that would essentially be on the table for anyone interested in keeping the team here...
What are the odds that a prospective owner makes a bid that Murray is willing to accept, but no other owner will? Ottawa especially seems like much lower hanging fruit at the moment...
