That said, it's pretty likely that this will be Nenshi's last term. So really, the Flames just have to ride out the next 4 years and they will have a much better chance next time out of manipulating the process to install a stooge more favourable toward dispensing huge dollops of unnecessary corporate welfare promoting a pro-arena candidate.

Jesus, it's already been over 4 years of this BS - do you really think they're going to wait another 4?
I was hoping to dump Nenshi AND see Ken King fired so we could start fresh and have some real meaningful conversation and negotiation. And for those of you who think the Flames will never move? Well let's just say I wouldn't underestimate that little weasel Bettman.
