Well there will be nothing else said in all likelihood, I just find it amazing that the Flames explanation "We were right, they were wrong" had virtually no scrutiny applied to it by the Calgary media, or at a minimum the Calgary media never asked someone responsible from the organization any questions like:
1) We understand your position is we were right and they were wrong, why do you think you were right?
2) Is that position the appropriate approach to asset management;
3) Did you ever ask the NHL for clarification prior to offering the contract;
4) Who is the players representative whose opinion you partially relied on?;
5) If the players representative is supposedly ROR's agent, why did he say that you guys never discussed this peculiarity?
But those questions will never be asked, they never were asked and the explanation from the Flames was "We were right and they were wrong". Dubious at best, it would have been nice for the FAN to do a little bit of journalistic probing on that issue today or in the future.
