Is it wrong, that i'm actually rooting for a relocation? I envision Benny Hill music in the background.
Then maybe we can embrace an ownership group who can appreciate the fans and market that is Calgary.

There won't be another ownership group. If the Flames do leave, the NHL will not return with a new rink in place, and no so called ownership group is going to build a building in the hopes of attracting a franchise. Its that simple. If the Flames did leave and the city hoped to attract a new franchise the city would have to completely pony up for a new rink.
There won't be new owners, there won't be a new team relocating to calgary.
To sit there and basically hope that the team leaves and a new miracle comes to town is unrealistic.
