_______

What year is being referenced?

I assumed 10-11 because I doubt all of the data is out for 11-12 yet.

Salaries are the single largest expense, and according to capgeek the salary cost for the two teams that year was:

Edmonton: $45,359,812
Calgary: $62,791,271

a $17M difference - pretty straight-forward.

(if we are talking about 11-12, the difference is only $4m however)
