That's the aggravating thing. everyone would be in a better state if it had been settled years ago, as it should have been.
Ego and incompetence got in the way. On both sides.

Flames ownership has been trying to squeeze out the absolute best deal they can for like 15 years. I get that it's in their best interest to pay as little as they can towards the arenas they play in. But with the cost going up just due to every year passing over a decade or more, let alone other factors, at a certain point it goes from business savvy to bad business.
I mean the Flames were right to find a reason to back out of the last deal as costs were atromioncal due to Covid, but that's the culmination of years of Flames blunders and miscalculations on what they could reasonably get.
