Let's be honest here...I have a feeling that most hockey players are conservatives / republicans.
So for a young, white, rich hockey player the tax laws and now COVID restrictions in the US would be more appealing.

Ottawa with Melnyk is a mess too. Same with Coyotes, who cant pay their rent.
Rest of the poll is a meh, all agents will have their GMs/Teams/Cities/Owners they would tell to avoid, 1-2 is nothing.

This.
Really the only three teams that truly are called out here are Arizona, Carolina, and Ottawa.
The rest of the list being 1-2 mentions is just personal preference / bias by that individual agent.
