I didn't read the entire thread, but who are the players who have not wanted to play for the Flames when they had a chance to get out?

Tkachuk
Gaudreau
Fox
Lidstrom
Hanifan

I'm not putting Tanev on the list because I don't think the Flames wanted to extend him with a long-term contract. Everyone above had that option, but declined.

There probably should be more on my list. When I look at it though, I see four Americans and one Swede. That tells me that if all things are equal, I'd maybe look for a player that isn't American.
