One area a new arena will make the team more competitive is that it makes Calgary a more attractive free agent destination. It's not about the total dollars spent, but who they are spending them on. In terms of training facilities, dressing rooms.... etc the Saddledome just can't compete with teams with newer rinks, which will be literally every arena in the league once the Wings move to their new rink.
