Toronto is 7th in the league in terms of payroll. Calgary is 20th and Edmonton is 22nd. There's no way that Calgary or Edmonton could afford to buy Gonchar, or Lang or Bondra or any other player that comes from the Caps, or is worth more than a million. Toronto is able to go out and buy the players it needs to get a cup, and so can Detroit and so can Colorado. But we can't. Even Ottawa can becausew their owner is a billionaire. And they were just in bankruptcy a year ago. Calgary has like 12 owners who can't afford anything.
