Rumor: Reilly Smith - 8 teams on no-trade list, including all Canadian teams

[JKG33]

well in the summer I mean lol.

I don't know enough about Norway to comment lol, seems like a nice place but I have no real desire to live in Europe. I'd be partial to the US, hopefully have a business there one day

I would never step foot in the USA ever. Why not live in China for a bit if you want a business?

I'd burst into flames like a whore in church if I set foot in China

 

[Icelevel]

Born in Ontario.
Will not play in Canada.
Hmmm wonder if that’s an issue???

 

[Gravity]

Ass player anyways. No Canadian team wants him so it's mutual Reilly.

 

[beachcomber]

Why would a pending UFA avoid all of Canada?

I mean I get it for not wanting a non-playoff team.

It's cold, expensive and the cities are dirty and rife with drug addicts.

 

[ViD]

Lot of players love Chicago just on the O6 history and big city appeal.

That team is a mess with no hope of contention in the foreseeable future. I can see Sharks and Ducks getting some success sooner

 

[Qward]

is it.....is it cause of the booing?

 

[Breakers]

Don’t blame him. Lol

The Canadian media is something else.

Postmedia
The largest media company in Canada is American owned

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't buy it, because if that's true that means 2 of Chicago, Buffalo and SJ are not on his no trade list.

Considering the state those 3 teams are in that doesn't make sense

canada needs another fentanyl czar

 

[BurnsWhenIPee]

I guess Reilly can't take the heat of playing in a Canadian market.

 

[BFLO]

Worse team and worse take home pay is my reasoning for that.

Buffalo has been the worst team of the last 14 years by a mile. They have set the record for an NHL playoff drought.

Sharks have only been bad for what, 6 years?

 

[SomeDude]

Here's to another 32 years, Canada.

If you think that current day Reilly Smith is needed to finally win a Cup, then I think I’ve located the problem of the great Canadian Cup drought.

It's cold, expensive and the cities are dirty and rife with drug addicts.

California without the nice weather

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I don't really get why players won't waive for what essentially amounts to a couple of months if the team on their NMC is a contender.

 

[Paddys Pub]

Probably wants to keep his money instead of giving a huge portion to a government who couldn’t plan a poop in an outhouse.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Good for Canada.

 

[Mrfenn92]

His contractual right

 

[FlyguyOX]

hahahah always makes me laugh

 

[Kshahdoo]

Don’t blame him. Lol

The Canadian media is something else.

You can do like Russian players, just don't speak English and everything will be alright.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

The fact he even has an 8 team NTC is hilarious. Who gives a f*** where he wants/doesn’t want to go lol

 

[FlyguyOX]

is it.....is it cause of the booing?

Your sens gonna find out the effect of that shortly

 

[SEALBound]

USA (from a Canadian citizen POV) is such a political dump. They have a lot of geopolitical power, but have a leader who is starting shite. (not that Canada has a leader to brag about… lol)

I do think that making 7 figure income fixes a lot of the issues if there is a huge benefit. Agents likely also play a role in giving players extrinsic perks of locations that may sway their own personal opinions


I share this opinion. I would love to see the Great Wall, but pictures will have to do.

People living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

 

[King Woodballs]

Don’t blame him in the least.
