Compared to Calgary, It is almost identical in what it has to offer. There is no reason a millionare cant be comfortable in Edmonton. These guys are professional athletes who spend half their life on the road in the winter anyway. It has good schools, expensive stores, and wealthy subdivisions. There are far bigger dumps a player could play in.

Any issues people have with going to Edmonton should not be based on the city itself but the organization.
My friends/family that went to U of A or spent time working in Edmonton (all of them born and raised Calgarians) have said that it's a great place to live FWIW.
