No issues with toxic fumes, as far as I know.
While Calgary is ranked the top city by Moneysense, Edmonton is #3, with St. Albert as the #1 "Small City" in Canada. Strathcona County, with the majority of citizens in Sherwood Park, is #2.
In Calgary, the average household net worth was $ 540,897, according to Moneysense. In Strathcona County, the average household net worth is $ 639,971.

Slag Edmonton all you want on these boards - the primary point is that wealthy people can live a good life anywhere. If the Flames are not an "A" list free agent market, it's likely because of unproven goaltending, a questionable defense, and rookies as forwards. I can't see toxic fumes, or floods, as drivers behind free agent activity.
