I am trying to think of one reason why Getzlaf would want to leave Anaheim to come to Calgary.
The fact he played junior hockey here isn’t particularly compelling.
It’s certainly not to chase a cup.
I am at a loss.
Plus, I think Backlund is criminally underrated around here. Same for Gio. Using their cap space (assuming you could move it easily) to get better won’t be easy, as the players you could likely bring in will likely just be worse.
