I think that's something we should be aware of. Calgary is likely amongst the least preferred free agent destinations now in part due to the organization instability that the arena issue is creating.

never say never i guess.
during the all star game, it might have been hrudey or Oakes, but they were talking with MAF and he said that he was fully expecting to be traded to Calgary.
and even though he had calgary on his no trade list, he would have accepted the trade...
i mean, that's a hypothetical situation of course, if it were to really have happened, he might have had second thoughts.
Personally, i don't think the arena issue would play that much of an issue for a player: in the end, their contracts are guaranteed. Not sure why the arena uncertainty would affect one's decision any more than getting traded to (or signing as a UFA with) a team that is hemorrhaging money or one that plays in front of arenas 60% full.
