Teams like Calgary, Winnipeg and Edmonton need to develop internally and make smart wise trades. Unless we want to focus on the second and third tier UFAs, which is plausible.

I disagree. While Calgary is no ny, toronto, etc big market ,they are a step up on the peg and Edmonton as far as destination city. I know some posters don't think this but a new arena would make calgary a very intriguing place to play as far as Canadian market goes. Calgary really needs that new arena and not just for hockey
