This is a difficult situation for everyone involved. The Flames organization are doing the exact same thing that almost every business around the world is having to do. The Flames are in a tough spot as they are a organization that is followed very closely by the public so decisions like this gain a lot of attention. Almost every business under the son would go bankrupt very quickly if they continued to pay employees without receiving a revenue stream to offset the cost.
The difficult part for me is that players are continuing to collect their pay checks tied to multi million dollar contracts while the average person who lives pay check to pay check now suffers.
