Seravalli: "There are growing concerns that some Canadian Teams are handcuffed at the TDL because of No Trade Clauses" Vetoing trades to Canada

[JianYang]

Montreal is a complete different issue. It’s a beautiful place but unless you’re a French Canadian you’ll never really “like it”

Hmm, when I go to montreal, I never really think of it as "french". Quebec city, yes, but not montreal.

In my experience, it seems like almost everyone in Montreal speaks English and French.

It's the most bilingual place I've ever visited.

Just because they speak both languages doesn't mean they will.

Everyone speaks to me in English. My French is so bad that I'm to embarrassed to use it.

What's your experience with Montreal? Because that's a crock of shit. Clerks in stores literally greet you with Bonjour/Hi over half the time.

That poster is either lying or ignorant. Everyone speaks to my wife in English as well. It's not a thing.

2015- Most common no-trade destinations

2016- Which teams appear most frequently on no-trade lists?

I couldn't find anything more recent.

@Double Dion Montreal appears no where on these lists. Actually, only one year in the teams 'that received vote(s)' along with half the league's teams.

Best goalie? Player you'd most like to punch? Best and worst refs? Favorite and least favorite road cities? Nearly 200 NHL players weigh in.

The anonymous player poll by The Athletic has some interesting info.

The lists you posted are from 6,7,8 years ago. The list I quoted is from 2023. The Flames didn't appear on it then either. They do now.

You keep talking about this list you've quoted yet you haven't cited it a single time lol. I'd love to see this list that has Montreal near the top
