I hope no Canadian team gets Lafreniere. Especially Toronto (I already hear way too much about Mathews, Marner, etc). Double especially for Edmonton (why do analysts think this team is somehow good? Too much McDavid this and McDavid that. I also don't want them to have a chance at ruining another possible superstar that I would otherwise enjoy seeing as a hockey fan). I really don't want to see Vancouver, Winnipeg or any other Canadian team get him.
Pittsburgh I am fine with. For many years, they became my second team to follow when Badger Bob and Joey Mullen were there. I loved watching the Lemieux, Jagr and Francis show. I couldn't stand Crosby for the first few seasons as I thought he pouted way too much, but I don't hate them now. Their purposeful tank for Lemieux was ugly though, and then they got lucky with Crosby - I can see why people wouldn't like it, but I am a bit of a Pens fan still (sort of). Being groomed by Crosby and Malkin and getting to play with them would probably be awesome for the kid as well.
From the process of elimination, Florida is probably the least offensive to Calgary Fans. No rivalry, won't interfere in the standings, could use an injection of interest in that franchise, etc. Makes the most sense.
