Calgary on a lot of no trade lists.

If I were a tax payer I'd be pretty pissed buying the team a new arena when the franchise has had very limited success or excitement for the on ice product outside a few years in 43 years.
The arena deal was a disaster for this city regardless of on ice success. Just pure cooperate welfare voted for by dummies that make enough money to not be struggling in this city.
