I think they tried but the offer wasn't enough for the Flames to give up the sweet deal they have with Abbortsford.

Also I think Abbotsford wasn't willing to give the Canucks the same deal they give the Flames.

Can't say I blame them, whoever was in charge when they offered the Flames such a deal was a huge bonehead. May not have been so bad if it was another teams AHL affiliate, but offering it to Calgary or Edmonton was about as dumb as they could get.

It was a brand spanking new (unfilled) building and a mayor desperate to fill it. Perfect storm for the Flames if you ask me.
