I watched the MONTREAL CANADIENS hammer the calgary flames last night and the
anouncers happened to speculate on figure that the arbitrator would be dealing
with and I was absolutely dumbfounded!  Who ever the anouncer was, I am not
quite sure, I don't pay attention to those things I like watching the game
myself, but a salary in the range 1-1.5 million/year was mentioned.
Any comments as to this salary??  Vernon could make more then Roy...
Whats up with that???
