The Flames sat around almost a decade "planning" a new arena, then came up with a ludicrous, amateur proposal like some kind of third rate organization from Edmonton. Now that this proposal is rejected, it's time for threats - amateur hour threats, of course, as is the reigning style.
Are the Flames going to forfeit that sweet sweet Rogers TV money to move to America? When does that deal run out, 2026? What was it, 5 billion over 12 years over 7 teams, or around 60 million per team per year? Yeah, they are going to move to Seattle to sell a dozen more suites at a million a pop and get the next Beyonce tour. That sounds like good business. Go for it.
