It’s probably because Trevor Tombe is on drugs. That’s the only explanation when Deluxe doesn’t understand something, since he has such a wealth of knowledge and an uncanny ability to follow simple conversations.

So if you're that opposed to it, then reframe what you're saying. You're actually saying "This is a bad deal, and I'll be happy if it falls apart and the Calgary Flames leave Calgary" - because that's what the stakes (likely) were in this negotiation.

Nah, nobody is “actually” saying that. Someone can believe this is an objectively bad deal while feeling no joy when it falls through and genuine sadness were the Flames to leave as a result. This idea that everybody pointing this out secretly hate the Flames and will jump for joy when they leave is just pretty ridiculous.
It’s cool if you don’t want to criticize the deal for fear of the Flames leaving if it falls through though. We don’t have that power, but do you.
People who are completely happy with this seem dead set on either lying about the benefits, ignoring the issues, or painting critics as some nasty Flames-haters, which is all very weird to me. I think you were on the right track by admitting it’s the only deal you think there was and you’re happy to pay the price to keep the Flames. Just stick with that honesty instead of the other nonsense.
