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)

Well, money is a huge thing on that list and Canadian teams (as well as teams in higher tax states) have a disadvantage. Calgary v. Vegas on Stone’s contract would have cost an extra $1.5M I estimate.
