If the Oilers get all the dough here, I would rather the Flames not be involved. I am actually surprised the Oilers would want the Flames to be part of it. If the Oilers lose, it will spoil the party for them. Not to mention, having more visiting fans attend. Although, I would not be shocked if the Oilers try to limit out of town purchases.

I believe the nhl pays out to the home team, assume they base it on average home game revenue. And then the nhl keeps all the profit from the event.
