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.

The players that were being discussed don't have limited control. Giroux has a full NMC and Hertl/Pavelski both have three team trade lists. I highly doubt any Canadian teams are on their three team lists.
