The only difference between Calgary and Edmonton right now is that they have a new building and Connor McDavid. So I guarantee if a player has a no trade list we’re on it.
Some of this stuff is out of our hands. Fortunately the two biggest factors for players are 1) money and 2) chance at a cup, so hopefully Peters and our new players can put up some wins and we can step in the right direction.
Thankfully at least for this coming season we have a shot at making the playoffs. Unlike the dumpster fire up north.

The largest (and most important) difference is that Calgary actually has cap space. The Oilers are in among the word cap situations in the league. They will barely be able to sign their RFAs. Like you said, the biggest factor is probably money.
