Who’s on your 10 team no-trade list?

[VivaLasVegas]

apparently a lot of people isnt aware Vancouver is in Canada.

Yeah, but Vancouver is gorgeous.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Tampa
Florida
Vegas
Dallas
Winnipeg
Ottawa
Buffalo
Edmonton
Nashville
Columbus

 

[Sun God Nika]

Winnipeg
Edmonton
Calgary
Pittsburgh
Columbus
Nashville (hate country music)


I wouldn't mind playing anywhere else. MTL is at the bott of standings but I love their strip clubs. Love the weather in Cali so wouldn't mind SJ or Anaheim.

 

[Jack Spider]

Carolina, Colombus, Dallas, St louis, Tampa Bay, Toronto, Utah, Vegas, Washington, Winnipeg.

Honestly don’t know enough about most of these locations to definitively say.

The hard Nos:
Rangers
Devils
Islanders
Penguins

Yes, all Flyers rivals, but I genuinely don’t enjoy being in NYC (it’s the only place I’ve ever been where I felt claustrophobic), and if I’m going to be in PA, I’d just rather be in Philly.

Cultural mismatches:
Dallas
Florida
Nashville
Carolina
Columbus

I might waive for any of these, but I’m not interested in living there. Tampa gets a pass that Miami doesn’t because I have family in the Orlando area, at least for now.

I’d just feel awkward:
Chicago

Yeah, I know, PC run amok, but between the assault incident and the logo, I just don’t feel great about it. Shame, because I have a friend in the area, a musician, who actually performed for the organization at various points, but I’d just be conflicted. I’d still probably waive if I was getting sent down otherwise, or if I was already on one of the other teams on my list somehow. Chicago comes off and Tampa goes on if my family moves.

7 Canadian teams + Buffalo, Minnesota, and San Jose. f*** living in Canada, f*** cold weather, and f*** the Bay Area

What’s wrong with the Bay Area?

 

[Casey Jones]

Great post. I put all the Canadian teams and some bible and rust belt teams

 

[CascadiaPuck]

95% of posts here havent given much though to this at all or have not the slightest clue what an NHL schedule looks like.

Lets thinks this through.

82 game season = 41 road 41 home.

Fly into your city around late august early September and for most teams end in April-May. So really 3-5 months max you actually live in that city and half of that is spring/fall weather.

Ive seen a lot of Edmonton which is hilarious. These supposed hockey fanatics would trade the opportunity to play on Stanley Cup finalists and potentially 2 of the greatest players of all time for 2 months of nice weather.

LMAO

It’s a job. My order of priority is my family’s happiness, maxing my earnings, and then craving accolades and awards. That’s vanity. If I’m a guy looking at $2-5M take home in my narrow window of a career and wanting a positive family life for the decades that follow my career, why would I prioritize a Cup?

Don't discount the myriad guys who get jobs years longer than they ought to because they have Cup-winning pedigree. Stretching that narrow window into a wider one might offset the other factors.

Nothing against Canada or their citizens but I don't want to live there so its an easy start to the convo.

Then throw in Philly, Buffalo and DC.

 

[EdJovanovski]

All Canadian teams & Seattle are the only ones I’d be vehemently opposed to. Then I also wouldn’t be crazy about Buffalo, Detroit, Minnesota, or Washington.

I would want to play for Florida, Vegas, Dallas, or SoCal teams.

Fair. But riskier for sure.

I respect that. You have to try Montreal or Vancouver though.

the one that surprises me that everyone is picking is columbus. played in a few tournaments out there and had a great time. Looked like the most normalest normal place in the country.

Columbus is really underrated, especially as a place to live.

But I can completely understand people not wanting to sign on with the Jackets at this point.

Being a South Florida transplant for 30 years, before moving to Greece, being in some cooler weather cities would be neat. Think it would be pretty cool to play in Toronto, the center of the hockey world. play my 89 games, give or take, then head to Europe for the start of summer.

With that being said, my F%K THAT list would be:

Edmonton
Calgary
Winnipeg
Montreal
LA
Buffalo
NJ
Detroit
SJ
