Name some examples where Calgary has proven time and time again this is a bad opinion?

Kadri wouldn’t come here despite the team coming off a 107pt season
Markstrom is the highest profile UFA signed since Bouwmeester in 2009
Tavares wouldn’t take a meeting here
Bishop blocked a trade here
A NMC and 5x5.25M deal was required to get Dennis freakin Wideman to sign here

Outside of Lucic which player do you know actually waived a NTC to come here?

A small city in Western Canada with the worst building in the league and a team with a taskmaster coach and no elite talent likely puts Calgary in the bottom 3 right now for desirability and at best they are always bottom 10.
