You haven't noticed a trend in the last few years of pending UFAs looking to get out of Canada and play in the US?
I mean sure, we can all pretend it's a CP thing and LOL at it, but if you can't see a trend in this regard, I don't know what to tell you.
And in this case - Draisaitl and/or McDavid - you have the added issue of not winning. And in Draisaitl's case, there is quite possibly the added incentive of 'wanting to be the guy' as opposed to the second fiddle.
Or, maybe CP is just 'LOL, Edmonton!'.
