Jeff Davison was on Prime Time sports this afternoon talking with Bob McCown and John Shannon about the Event Center situation. Unable to find any video of this.

Yeah, my first thought about this is: “what the hell do they know about it?”

Love how Bettman mentions possibility of relocation in Calgary when everything came to a head years ago, but denies the possibility when it comes to the Ottawa situation:

If they made a serious threat to move the Senators, most people in Ottawa would be "meh".

The veiled relocation threats were mostly dismissed, and even mocked, by the majority of Flames fans. The Flames seem to have learned that CalgaryNext-style negotiations, including airdropping Bettman in for added greasiness, hindered the process and had a negative impact on their position. Maybe the league has refined their strategy a little bit as well, in part due to how poorly it worked in Calgary.

1000% this. There are so many more Leafs, Habs, and even Flames fans here than Sens fans. And you'd be hard-pressed to see a single jersey around town outside of the CTC.

My money’s on a 50/50 split with each side’s contribution split evenly between upfront cash and borrowing against future revenues.
25% CSEC cash contribution
25% ticket tax
25% City cash contribution
25% CRL
I’d also bet on it being City owned with the Flames paying cheap rent / lease for the operating contract.

Seems reasonable. If it is City owned and the Flames are paying rent, then Flames would get 100% of revenues, yes? I guess the sticking point then being what is rent going to be and how they arrive at that number.
