I agree that the first question shouldn't be about the contract situation, but based on the very recent history involved with that issue I can see why it would come up early. If the Flames didn't want this to be dealt with early, they wouldn't have gone to Francis for the question, because you know he had that one in the hopper. And for all those faux media types out there who are attacking him for it, they would have asked the exact same question. They are just pissed they didn't get the chance to ask the question that was on everyone's mind.

This is a good point. Probably better that the question got asked now as it helps the player and the team hit a common ground. It also adds clarification for the fans. I could see cp in 2 or 3 years going crazy had the question not been asked. Lets relax and enjoy the player. We got one of the best pure goal scorers in the draft, that is a lot to be excited about. On Fox, that was worth the gamble and we got something in return. Scouts got it right with Fox, just have to hit more of these out of the park.
