I might, but I would also take me some Kris Russell shots at my own goalie as many times I could get away with.

I guess I'd be the opposite of most. I'd love to play in a city that's hockey crazy (obviously that may change after having played there for a few seasons)

My no trade list would look like this

Florida (sorry Cali)
Tampa Bay
Las Vegas
Nashville
New York Islanders
Detroit
Winnipeg (I hate the city)
Columbus
Carolina
Edmonton (I hate the city)

Saving a million bucks on income tax will cover your property taxes for a long, long time, even in Florida.

How much money you making to save $1 million a year in state income tax? Property taxes can get over 4% in some no income tax states.

Been a long time since I thought about it. Was talked to in scouting by CGY, EDM and QC in my youth so my list is skewed by that and being a goaltender also weighed into it by my NTC would have

1. Montreal
2. Toronto
3. Arizona
4. Vancouver
5. NYI

The five I wanted to play for were.
1. Quebec City
2. Calgary
3. Philadelphia
4. Chicago
5. Nashville (wasn't around back then but seems like a fun place to play.)

I was thinking $1 million over the life of the contract. If you buy (let's say) a $2 million house, which will get you decent accommodations anywhere in Florida, that 4% property tax would come to $640,000 over the term of a maximum 8-year contract. Spend less, live elsewhere in the off season, and you pay less in tax.
