Guys don't put words in my mouth.

I'm not saying they should get the Edmonton deal, but I have a tough time understanding why people think it's blasphemy to not table that as a comparable in a negotiation.

I'd do it.

I'd tell my ownership group we need to keep bringing it up, every chance we get. It's a bad deal, we're not going to get it as its another example of the massive inferiority complex that seems to be inbred into every Edmontonian, but it's in our favour to keep hitting it vocally.

Then you swap pieces out of it to get a Calgary solution.
