Vancouver’s management seems like a shit show and Anaheim is a bad team with an internal cap. But just a guessThat's a pretty decent list but why Anaheim and Vancouver?

I’ll take an 80%.Anaheim allows you to live on the beach. I doubt many players have Anaheim on their no trade list. Even if Anacrime itself kinda sucks. Vancouver is a nice city and that alone probably means it isn't on there.
C's get degrees!I’ll take an 80%.
And that’s a B
The Peg.Does anyone care to take a crack at what Kadri's 10 team no trade list looks like?
Is it fair to say Buffalo and Calgary are on it?

I'd guess Buffalo might be more of an option as it's close to his beloved Toronto but I think it's safe to assume it would be on the list.
Calgary was revealed to have been on his list a couple of years ago. He said nice things about Calgary once this story was made public.
The Peg.bad,
Probably SJ and Anaheim.
I would guess California isn't on many lists. Even if the team is bad, you're talking about palm trees/nice climate, beaches, etc.
Also there's that thing with strategic selection where players sometimes leave division teams off their lists because they know its unlikely GMs trade within the division and therefore, its a waste.
California also has ungodly taxation, both state and local in the case of virtually every hockey team. Florida and Texas have no state income tax
This. NHL players love Vancouver.Anaheim allows you to live on the beach. I doubt many players have Anaheim on their no trade list. Even if Anacrime itself kinda sucks. Vancouver is a nice city and that alone probably means it isn't on there.
I’ve tried to convince my wife of this. She doesn’t agree.Beaches are overrated. Give me a place with snow!
Snow f***ing sucks...the older I get the more I hate it.Beaches are overrated. Give me a place with snow!
It may be a little messy, but I love the cold and when everything is draped in white.Snow f***ing sucks...the older I get the more I hate it.
Umm phrasing?It may be a little messy, but I love the cold and when everything is draped in white.
Bingo.Snow f***ing sucks...the older I get the more I hate it.
Bingo.
I'm sure its been mentioned at some point but it feels like Stastny will come cup chasing in Colorado next year on a cheap deal. I feel like we could pencil him into our 3C spot
I think it's different this time. Paul has made his money, is 35, and unlike previous years (Vegas) we are clear cup contenders/favourites for some time to come. I still think there's some mutual attraction there, and it would be fitting for him to end his career in the place it began. Winnipeg is a solid team, but they are still some steps away and the city isn't exactly an attracting force.Very much doubt that door opens again. I feel like if either side was really serious about it, it would’ve happened already.
Beaches are overrated. Give me a place with snow!
Snow is great once in a while and especially when it's freshly fallen and/or when it's sunny. But pretty soon after everything is grey and ugly and you're dealing with slush and black ice, and you need to go through a 5 minute ritual of dressing and undressing every time you want to leave or enter your house.
Beaches and I can take or leave, but sunlight? Nothing beats a place that gets consistent sunny days.
