It’s a privilege to play in the NHL and it shouldn’t make a difference whether that opportunity comes in Winnipeg or New York. Player entitlement that they are above certain cities goes against everything the NHL should stand for.
Like I said, players would never give up this luxury in CBA negotiations but it really lowers the standard of competition and fairness when your team is on the list of undesirable locations.

Nah, at the end of the day people should have the ability to choose where they work. The NHL is making billions of dollars off their backs and workers have the right to negotiate contracts that make sense for their lives.
