Odd, how you speak so absolute.
Burned returning to same city twice, is a
material sample size.
Burned in Atlanta. Agreed.
Burned in Winnipeg? Debatable, I'd say no.
Burned in Denver? Absolutely not.
Burned in Ottawa? Debatable, I'd say no.
The team is a desired asset, with a new arena on the horizon and tied to a lease. Do you genuinely believe, the Flames would have trouble replacing Murray? (buying him out/finding new investors)
