Haha, yes there has been a time. The problem was the inability of our GMs at the time to pay for the top talent.
Money talks, and there were several years where we were one of the best teams in the league, and arguably the best place to go to contend for a cup.
The problem was everyone knew that we were never going to compete contract wise with other teams, and we never did.
Thats okay - it’s cold here and our population is small. The city doesn’t generate enough income to overwhelm other teams offers .
The strength of our FA appeal will be in The Connor Brown / Shawn Meachearn type acquisitions who could be a replacement level player on another team but may take advantage of their opportunity to boost them from $1 million type player into $2-5 million type player in the right situation.
