BTW, you still haven't anwsered me, and I asked first. I wont respond to you again if your going to cherry pick my posts like that.
You want me to provide examples where warm location and trophy wife pressure did not impact where a player signs...I think I already mentioned Glencross and Tanguay as two examples where those players have stated pretty clearly that they're not focused on warm locations.

I ask you to provide the opposite; ie. provide examples where warm location and trophy wife pressure did impact where a player signs...and you list Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary and Minnesota?

Edit...I see not that you're trying to say that Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary and Minnesota are impacted by wives who didn't want to live there.

The only example I can think of is Nylander in Edmonton. Contrary to perception, Winnipeg didn't have much if any issue. People think Selanne was trying to get out of Winnipeg when Calgary signed him to an offer sheet, but that had nothing to do with him wanting to leave Winnipeg. It had to do with him trying to get a better contract.
