How many European players stay in the cities they played Hockey in?
There are a lot of people that were the face of the franchise while they played there:
Sundin? Naslund? Salming? Loob? Kurri?
Thomas Steen with millions in the bank could choose to live anywhere in the world and he ended up in Winnipeg??

Calgary is the best city in the world....
other than Jim Peplinski (Renfew Ont) and Fluery (Oxbow, SK) who has played in Calgary that was born outside of Alberta that stayed on in Calgary after NHL pay checks stopped rolling in?
