But it is a constant refrain here.

The NHL is kinda unique in pro sports globally. People talk about top UFA's not wanting to play in Canada due to pressure which is kinda nonsense. You think top soccer plays don't feel pressure playing in the UK, France, Italy etc.
In the NHL, you can be a top player, in the top league, making top salary and winning championships and be in a market where your sport is a non factor, like a lot of US markets. That just doesn't happen in other sports
