Like I said, it doesn't apply for every player but I think it factors in somewhat and will only continue to get worse as time goes on. For some reason Calgary isn't the most appealing market, would a new arena change that? Maybe not but it certainly can't hurt. Now should this be the main reason we need a new arena? No. It doesn't make sense to me given that Calgary is a world class city and always recognized very highly in global ranks. Or it could just be a weather inditement. This is just my opinion. Lot of arguments being made on each side have validity to them, hopefully when a deal is reached it makes sense for the people of Calgary.
