Hey, don't get me wrong, I love Kipper, have the freakin jersey and the whole bit but that turned me off big time. Also, he signed a contract- he was paid on it very well. Now, just because he would only make 1.5 mill on the last year of his contract he decides he doesnt want to play for that ? I'm sorry you guys, I love Kipper as much as the next guy but that is garbage.

I understand the quote but from what I understand he said "If the Flames haven't announced it yet, you can". That to me, means that he has told the Flames of his decision and the Flames just didn't officially announce it.
As for the 1.5 million dollars, be prepared for a lot of players pissing you off big time. You realize that this contract was meant for Kipper to retire this season, right? He did the Flames a favor with the cap, I am sure he had no problem signing a contract that had a higher cap hit.
I am not trying to argue with you, I just feel that you are a little mistaken with your perspective on the whole situation.
