The Flames are NOT paying $80M+ in player salaries.
The current cap mid point is ~71M, after many, many years of players invoking the 5% escalator. All 31 teams are above this 'midpoint' in cap spending. The Flames pay their share of 50% league-wide HRR. Maybe somebody has the real numbers, but it's probably around $68-70M real money.
Plus, there is plenty of revenue beyond current definition of HRR (a bone of contention for the PA).

Sure...right after we start doing the same for Canada's indigenous communities.
