Do we put this in the category of Luke Scott (Tampa Bay Rays player) who called Fenway Park "a dump" earlier this season?

Burn as many bridges as you want. Leave the PC, don't offend anybody nonsense to the politicians. I like when people are honest.

hearing the flames have a self-imposed $55m cap for next season.
if that's true, they've got $5m left for 8 players. :confused2:

It's a Flames fire sale, everyone must go

Edit: Digging up a little more info on this, it appears that the intrepid Roger Millions was on Calgarypuck earlier today and apparently he talked to a Flames exec who said that the Flames would not be a cap team this year. I'm thinking that the Flames will definitely have some room under the cap for the upcoming season, but until we see what happens with the new CBA, it's pretty early for people (I'm looking at you Blake Price) to be speculating.

Just call it "All in the Family"

Calgary, AB – The Calgary Flames announced today that they have named Jacques Cloutier as associate coach. Cloutier joins the Flames coaching staff following a championship season alongside Bob Hartley with the ZSC Lions of Switzerland’s National League A.

“I’m very happy to be joining the Calgary Flames organization,” said Cloutier. “I’d like to thank Jay Feaster, Bob Hartley and the Flames for this opportunity. I’ve worked with Bob for many years and I’m excited to be going back to the NHL with him in such a passionate Canadian hockey market and with such a highly regarded organization as Calgary.”

“Jacques brings a wealth of hockey experience, including two Stanley Cup championships, to our coaching staff,” said Flames Head Coach Bob Hartley. “We have been coaching partners for many years, beginning in Cornwall (AHL) immediately after his playing days, another five years in Colorado (NHL) and most recently in Zurich (Swiss National A League). He has a tremendous talent for working with professionals, from young players to veterans. Jacques and I have developed very good chemistry and I consider him the most team oriented and loyal individual I have met in my career. He’ll be a valuable addition to our staff and to our success.”
