I enjoyed the experience of going to a Panthers game a few years ago. Its like being at a Hitmen game with the 6000 total attendance. The people who work at the stadium who asked what jersey I was wearing (hint it was a Flames jersey who was the opponent that night). The rando stuff like the Ric Flair Woo after a goal. I asked myself if I was a hockey player would I want to play here?
Then I realized you get to play hockey basically in a Canadian summer. You can be in the Caribbean in a few hours by boat. If you are single, well Miami enough said.
I think there will always be players like Luongo that are great and want to live there in the winter. Then home for the summer. Sure you never win, but you get paid well and Winnipeg it ain't.
