hammertime Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I'm going with Nashville here no taxes great fans unlimited shows to go out to with your buddies and have a great tight knit team. Never a shortage of puck bunnies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 23 hours ago, ABNuck said: Preferred destinations would be: Vancouver, San Jose, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Dallas My NTC cities would be: Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto Seems like I kinda mirror what quite a few NHL'ers have in the NTC cities...seriously, I could NOT live in Winnipeg in the winter... Does ABNuck not stand for Alberta Canuck? Honest question... Move to Edmonton from Winnipeg? I have done it. Winnipeg is pure colder in winter true. But I take it anyway. Winter arrives 5 weeks earlier in Northern Alberta, Give or take 20th October & leaves 5 weeks later. And summer as well. It rarely gets above 22 degree's.

-DLC- Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Everyone has their own ideas of "best". For some, it's $$ and so US vs Canada comes into play. Some prefer to be closer to family. Weather/climate is a big factor - but some prefer summer, others like to ski, etc. and winter is alright too. Big city anonymity versus small town eat/breathe/sleep hockey locations where everything you do is noticed. Then it's also where a team is at and what direction they're going in. I'd say Vancouver currently offers a pretty good mix for the most part. Places like Arizona and Florida would be weird for some...sweltering hot as you head to the rink. Also, risk of hurricanes and other natural disasters in places like Florida. You have pros/cons for all places...it's just about individuals and what personally suits them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Miami, Arizona, or San Jose. Coming from a person who loves Vancouver and Canada. as an athlete I want a location where hockey is not the true spot light and I can get away with playing like crap. I also want to be able to go out without people knowing who I am. So an american city will be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcy2 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I honestly don’t see how our city can compare with the likes of NY, Chicago, LA, Toronto etc ........ so as a city guy for me it’s NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 If I was an NHLer... I'd choose NYC. I hate the Rangers, but NYC is pretty much one of a handful of A+ cities in the world. Vancouver is pretty much like a B city in comparison. MSG is filled every night, you have passionate fans, and you still have the anonymity to go grocery shopping, drop your kids to school, and just grabbing a cup of coffee without being hassled by fans. As an NHL player, you're pretty much a small fry in terms of celebrities and the ultra-wealthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more in the south central area of Alberta...but still, given a choice (and even a league minimum paycheque) gimme a southern destination. I'm getting to be Snowbird age (I'm still awaiting the so-called "Freedom 55"...should have kicked in last week...didn't see a penny...oh well), so the warmer climate in the hockey season beckons. I'll go check out the Nux in Vegas again this winter, and maybe catch a Cali road trip, but other than that it'll be bundle up and shovel for me this winter...BLAH!

Sorry, been editing a book for the last 2 weeks, and uh, yeah. Probably Dallas or Nashville. Great culture, great weather, and you don't get recognized. What does the question have to do with you editing a book? Nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter in which city that dream is fulfilled? Once your established and hit Ufa you will want to play in the best city where you can make the most money. I dunno .

As an NHL player, you're pretty much a small fry in terms of celebrities and the ultra-wealthy. You're assuming that everyone loves the things that NYC offers. What about a guy from say... small town Sweden who enjoys quiet, fresh air, etc.? A+ city or B city in terms of what...that's the key in all of this? Each player will have their own ideas of "best/worst" and they differ. Super densely populated comes with anonymity but also, perhaps, a sense of crowded/rat race. Plus, that President...that's an issue as a huge divide is happening and he's creating a climate of instability, at least in terms of overall safety (with shootings happening all too frequently). Us versus them in his own country, yet he panders to less than desirable "friend" requests from abroad. So there's all that to consider while drinking that coffee. Our city does compare as it offers all the big city living amenities but the option to slip out the back door to ski hills, beaches, and small town feel if desired. Speaks volumes that many who play here stay here. Or come back here, even if not their birthplace or original hometown. Based on the fact that players are individuals, there is no "right answer" in this. But I wouldn't set the bar and say Vancouver falls short because what it lacks in some areas it definitely has an advantage in in others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver isn't a A+ city in the world, it's just a fact. Doesn't mean it's a bad city. It has its charms as a quint, relaxing, middle-sized city with a small town vibe to it. Playland doesn't compare to Disneyland... but it doesn't mean I don't enjoy going to Playland every summer. A Toyota Camry is not a BMW... but it's still a very good car.

FutureFilm Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Being hometown bias I would pick Vancouver. But my main choice would be Nashville. Loved the city and people when I have visited, building is awesome, the team has passionate fans. My 2nd choice would be Carolina solely based on the atmosphere, city and coach.
