If so, the Flames are only doing what every other team does.
When I was a young employee, if we stayed late, we fending for dinner for ourselves and got our own way home.
Now, many years later, the young employees get paid diner and ubers/taxis home.
The difference? Supply and demand.. If we don't, some employees may go to our competitors. The market changed more than what was in actuality fairness.
Hockey players are no different.
