Is it reported that all the players playing in the US hold that same view/opinion? Did they take a poll?

There are inconveniences sure, but you're talking 2-3 months of hockey in the case of rental trades.

And teams aren't going to just up and cease all transactions with Canadian teams when they feel a deal could be in their interest.

I swear I hear this take every year and in the end you never hear of a trade falling apart because it was to a Canadian team.

Sure players had preferences, but 90% of the time they're gonna go where they're told, even if they have some limited control.
