Has Calgary really struggled attracting free agents?
Brouwer
Neal
Markstrom
Sure we paid free agent prices for them but who doesn’t?
I can’t think of a free agent who has stiffed calgary in the last five years that has taken a sizeable discount to play somewhere where it did not make sense (be it money, history, chance to win, original or childhood team)
