Mr. King, I'm curious to find out if the last proposal made by the NHL with a $42.5mil cap would have actually worked for the Calgary Flames?
I remember in December that you said you had discussed the 24% rollback offer with Darryl and you both agreed it wouldn't work. Have you had a chance to do the same with what the NHL was offering?
The reason I ask is because we all know Calgary's budget is set lower than that (one or two marquee players less) and that could be perceived as still being a disadvantage to our team without significant revenue sharing.
