Ken, welcome to the board. Like many others here I want to say that you and the Flames organization have my full support.
Just one question Ken. It may seem naive or something but having been a Flames fan since day 1, I often think back to the early 80's when no players had any idea what other players were making. Kent Nilsson didn't know Lanny McDonalds salary and vice versa. To my way of thinking, making salaries public knowledge is the biggest reason we are where we are today. Do you think with the new NHL landscape that is on the horizon there would be any way to take public salaries out of the equation?
