Calgary isn’t really a die hard hockey city, there are a lot of entertainment options and the Flames are only a draw when they are good. Most people want to go to a game where the home team has a good chance to win.
I think the Flames badly needed a rebuild but I also don’t think these ‘educated’ fans will show up to keep the dome full during it.
Thankfully the dynamics are different from the era where they almost moved.

This is a very good post. The one part I wonder about/hope you’re right is the dynamics being different. I’m not convinced of that
