Just curious- think it could be kinda fun if people don’t take it personally. Let people have their opinions, let’s not turn this into a back-and-forth battle. So, if you were a super talented NHLer and got either a 5 or 10 nmc list, who’d be on it for this season?

For me:

5) Montreal. Media, pressure.
4) Toronto. Same as above.
3) Calgary. Directionless, disorganized.
2) Philadelphia. Same as above.
1) Winnipeg. Same as above.

Buffalo, Seattle, NYI, Arizona, Ottawa, Minnesota, St Louis and all of Cali
 
1. arizona - losing culture, risk of being bought and moved, the arena
2. ottawa - lived there for 3 years for work and it was super boring, lack of diversity in the food scene, people, culture, the arena is in KANATA (poor planning), would have said ownership but that recently changed so don't know anymore.
3. toronto - don't enjoy the spotlight and pressure, not a huge fan of fast paced cities.
4. washington - I heard it gets too hot and humid in the summers, being the capital I associate it to be like ottawa
5. Detroit - high crime rate
6. columbus - coach, crime rate
7. NYI - same reason as NYC, crime
8. NYC - I hate the concrete jungle, every time I visit for work, I get anxiety walking through the streets.
9. buffalo - weather, losing culture
10. LA - traffic is ridiculous, kind of all spread out

top places: vancouver (yes management is crappy but it is one hell of a beautiful city to live in so I would tolerate it), colorado (seems like a nice city with a good chance of winning), and winnipeg (I am from there so might be biased but also think it is highly underrated, from the food scene, lakes, diversity/culture, people, etc).

Lol, thanks for proving me right kid.


So you think that Canadians move to the usa for political reasons?

I think overbearing governemnt restrictions during COVID convinced a lot of guys to maybe settle down elsewhere. If you're a 20 something multimillionaire, its probably not too fun seeing your colleagues down south being able to live their life while you cant even go eat in a. restaurant.

1. Winnipeg ( brutal city )
2. New York Rangers ( to expensive )
3. New York Islanders
4. Washington
5. Arizona
 
Tampa, Florida, Dallas, Carolina—too hot and Southern culture is a major turn off to me (Nashville gets a pass for its music scene).
Arizona, Vegas—WAY too hot and cultural wastelands as well
Columbus—there’s no there there

Of course this is no longer relevant and won't be unless we have yet another crippling global pandemic of infectious disease.

All American teams. Still don't understand that society and would never be able to live there.

And Vancouver. No Canadian Winter so it's hard to live there.

Calgary is just naturally hated. Which is a good thing, city is booming too fast and quickly need less people moving here.

Interesting that so many dislike Calgary. I'm sure that many don't know that it's far and away the most conservative, closest to a "red" US city/area, yet believe otherwise

They have a terrible rink, probably one of the reasons.
 
Edmonton
Montreal
Toronto
Winnipeg
Ottawa
Arizona
Nashville
Vegas
Dallas
St Louis

Don’t want media attention in Toronto or Montreal. Don’t want meh Canadian cities. Don’t want to live in the south or southwest. If I could add both Florida teams on here I would, but that would be 12.

The islanders play in the safest county in America...
 
Ottawa- Snoozefest city.
Montreal- Not a bad city but I don't speak French. Would probably always be seen as an outsider.
Winnipeg- Nothing going on up there except cold and snow.
Arizona- City isn't bad but ownership questions and lack of professional facilities.
Edmonton/Calgary- Trash weather, small Canadian city. Not for me.
Vancouver- Everything is foreign owned and expensive as f***.
San Jose- Bay area is trash.
Seattle- Shithole.
 
5 teams NMC: Arizona, Winnipeg, Carolina, Calgary, Dallas

5 preferred teams: Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Rangers, Boston

Montreal is the exception. It might have the worst media and fan pressure but it’s a really great city.

Montreal and Quebec City are both absolutely amazing. Every time I go I want to go back.

Would I want to play professional hockey in Montreal? HELLLLLLL NO.

Canadian teams. Sorry, nothing against them. Don’t want to live in Canada. I prefer my own country to other ones.

That’s it. The others I could tolerate in the scenario I’m an NHL player.

Bay Area has some cool places, but the traffic is insane and SJ itself is dystopian. I’m liberal as hell, but homelessness is a problem. Houses being $1 mil with rent at $2500 is a huge part of it, but whatever the causes you can’t walk down the street without seeing human feces, people passed out on the sidewalk, etc. Its a ghost town in actual downtown, very weird place.

Anyways, congrats to all for not bickering much. Did not think we’d get this far.
