He is talking about growth in revenues compared to today. In other words, if Flames are able to spend to the cap today and remain competitive, other teams revenues should not grow at a faster pace just because their arena is newer.

There are many posters on here with incredibly strong opinions and personally, I don't mind seeing the passion come through. But some civility wouldn't hurt and maybe everyone should take the time to read and understand someone else's take even if you don't agree. Just my two cents.
