The highest point guy actually from Calgary is Gary Unger. From Southern Alberta - Lanny.
I guess you could call Taylor Hall, Willy Nylander, Troy Murray, Mike Rogers, and Josh Morrissey stars.

This is a good example as he was the top Dman on the market a 25 year old former 3rd overall pick coming off multiple 40pt seasons.
JayBo wasn’t from Calgary but he was living what many people refer to as the “Edmonton dream” which is a common phenomenon where people pursue education and careers that would allow them to move from dumpy Edmonton to the vastly preferred city of Calgary. I know dozens of those folks who despite being from Edmonton and Oilers fans they are quick to admit that Calgary is by far the better city to live in

To be fair to Edmonton that is changing a bit. As prices rise in Calgary, Edmonton has attracted a lot of young families and young people generally. The prices in Edmonton are just a little bit cheaper, so it facilitates small businesses, makes entry into the housing market easier, encourages more of a social scene, etc...
On top of that, being a member of the working class, doesn't mean what it used to, now that everybody has access to the information of the internet. Most trades people are now skilled and knowledgeable.
The major downside to Edmonton is that you can't take a day trip to good mountains for skiing. And the stabbings....the violent crime rate is much higher there, but a lot of it is isolated to a few communities.
Don't get me wrong, I still hate their hockey team, an organization that is sleazy from top to bottom.

The arts scene is actually more vibrant there too.
Sure, we all live within a handful of central neighborhoods, but much more options for theatre etc.

I wouldn't call a 3rd pairing guy who was 30 years at the time a reclamation projection. But yes, he was a surprise and good when he was here.

How could I forget Mike Rogers?!
Colour commentator with actual opinions. Millen is good too.
Curious to see if GMCC has another trade in him before the break.
