I feel like almost all players would have a list that looks like this:
1. Edmonton
2. Calgary
3. Winnipeg
4. Ottawa
5. Minnesota
6. Columbus
7. Buffalo
8. Maybe Islanders/Devils/Detroit?

Lol.
Calgary will never attract the NYC loving crowd, and a lot of players who've gone through the US development/NCAA system are going to have strong ties to their hometown American regions.
That being said, a lot of hockey players also come from rural communities in Canada. They like outdoors and ranch-type activities. A lot of players will like the proximity to the mountains and the ability to own a ranch with animals, that is a small distance from the arena.
Not everyone is going to have the same list.
