its the media

play in a obsessed mad hockey market where every single thing you do will be on the front page or talked about, and pay higher taxes and crappy winters (except vancouver), where everytime you go out fans will criticize you or want autographs etc.

or play down south or in america where you are like the 4th biggest sport, can live by the beach, no one bothers you, taxes are low, not constant fodder

Conversely, a lot of NBA players like playing for the Raptors because the NBA flies under the radar there, as opposed to playing in meat grinders like LA/NY/Chicago or small CAC cities like Salt Lake City, Indianapolis and Portland

raptors havent signed a big name free agent in eons

and the nba does not fly under the radar in toronto, toronto is a city of nearly 5 million people and the raptors fan base is MASSIVE and INSANE

people like playing in toronto because its a great city prob one of teh top 5 cities in the nba to play in and rasie a family

Yeah saw this yesterday, like dudes said it's the media and the pressure to win.

Even Jokinen who's already played in Winnipeg and Calgary was amazed at all the media swamping him when he got traded to TO last week. There's levels to this shyt

Some guys just wanna make their money and chill, can't blame em

make the exact same number but play for florida panthers and be 5 min from a beach, can go to the store no one bugging you, can play like crap no one writing or calling you out.

you think anyone would care about evander kane if he was in dallas or tampa bay for taking pictures of his money?

to/montreal and vancouver are the worst.

you'd think Winnipeg would be worst than T.O as Winnipeg is smaller and the Jets are the only show in town

Montreal
The only reason Montreal didn't make that list is because the team is winning

A few years back when we hired a coach who couldn't speak French, the media was out to destroy him

id rather play in florida

no state taxes
no harsh winters
barely a blip on the radar
can go out shopping/clubbing/to the beach every day and no one knows who you are or cares.

in canada you go to timmies and dudes are asking for a photo/selfie, or saying fuk you kessel your ass, go to a bar and dudes trying to beat you up like they did milan lucic in vancouver. Your front page news, dudes attacking you on twitter, making songs etc.
