Calgary is definitely in the bottom half of desired cities players want to play in, both due to climate, and in regards to probability of winning the cup. So with that they would need to sweeten the pot to draw players in. But it's for that same reason that makes them more vulnerable compared to other teams. So although they may not be as cut-throat as the Patriots and Golden Knights (and who knows if that's sustainable for them), they likely would be better served by being more proactive from here on out, rather than hoping for the best on a situation they don't have full control over.
