Is it? As a fan we finally have a dynamic, young, top-scorer to build around and we are somehow concerned about a fair deal for the Flames? Personally, I want to see the best team on the ice and care very little if the Flames owners and our team payroll are out an extra $.5M - $1M in the process.
If BT can't manage the cap after already signing a number of players to big, multi year deals, I would be pretty disappointed. The Flames are hardly a struggling franchise that needs to be concerned about paying their best player. A player that will sell a lot of tickets, merchandise and quite frankly single handedly put the teams offensive game back on the map after some pretty bleak years.
