Just got off hfboards and saw a link that a suburb of atlanta may develop a $1 billion 18, 700 seat arena to lure a NHL team..

I am predicting the flames will relocate to a US city (atlanta) in a couple of years because I feel the city government will not use taxpayer dollars to pay for it..

I think Murray Edwards is gonna move the team. He has taken flames fans for granted for too long for years.

Stuff like keeping Darryl Sutter as head coach and other baffling hockey decisions are gonna alienate the fanbase, causing a drop in season ticket sales, meaning the team won’t be profitable.

If I was a flames fan right now, I would prepare for the inevitable that the team might move….
