Chicago, Detroit, and St. Louis don’t exactly have great winters either. Maybe not as much of a factor as the Canadian prairies, but likely a deterrent to some degree if the player has a choice and all other things are equal.
And yeah, as someone who used to live in the prairies, I will take rainy Vancouver winters over that. They both suck in a way though. If I was an NHL player, I would definitely try to land on a sunbelt team. Weather wouldn’t be my only criteria, but it would be a factor.
