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?

Very compelling?
Are you really that thick?

I want you to provide me with examples of teams, despite their terrible location, things to do and climates, that have had no issue signing big name UFA's.

And BTW, as much as I like Glencross, when we signed him he was hardly a big name UFA, he was coming off a 15 goal 25 point season, he was hardly a name at all. Tanguay only re-signed here because no one else wanted him not to mention the fact that he has a great connection with Iggy. He was hardly a highly sought after FA.
