Even being Canadian can turn players away. Having better tax conditions can be big. There will be a handful of big ticket UFAs this summer. I highly doubt they're telling their agents that Buffalo, Colombus or Winnipeg is where they want to play. It would be interesting to see players' 'limited no trade' lists. If you were granted a 4 team no trade option, who would you pick ? Florida Arizona New jersey Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you dont think teams like to win cups? Florida hasn't won a playoff series since their cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googlie Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 And if you we re a kid brought up in Finland or Sweden, where Helsinki or Stockholm were your early exposure to a big city, Edmonton or Winnipeg would seem comparable, much more so than Columbus, Nashville, New Jersey or St Louis, or Florida. Certainly Vancouver would be attractive from that standpoint, and as the team grows around Petey, BB, Bo and Quinn, look for Nordic UFA's inquiring about opportunities here. (And as an aside, after a chance to compete for a cup, isn't term more important to these UFA's than another $1/2 million in their bank accounts?) (Ofc a jump from, say, $1.8 to $2.3 would be much more significant than from, say $5.5 to $6.0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Jersey perhaps. Carolina, I know nothing about. A 27 year old me would like to live in the California, NY, Boston type areas. Small city Canada and USA would be my no go areas. Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and of course Toronto would probably be my list.

The puke Duncan Keith gives a Randy Macho Man flying elbow to Daniel near the end of that regular season. 2013.....tied for 7th in the league during the regular season (ship is taking in water but still floating) THEN we hit the iceberg.

Used to be a lot of them cared more about winning the Worlds Championships than the Stanley Cup. Plus other than some bonus money, their salaries stop when the regular season ends (owners really roll in the dough with playoff revenues).
