Lol, he’s not going to Calgary. Vegas and possibly Tor are threats, but his wife isn’t moving to Alberta...
St. Louis gal not wanting to move to Alberta? I feel like we’ve seen this before.

60% STL
40% TOR
Four kids under 2 yrs, betting he values living close to grandparents if given a fair deal.

Could see him being courted extensively, then re-sign with the Blues.

A top 4 of Pietrangelo, Theodore, Martinez, and Schmidt is really solid. McNabb, Holden, Whitecloud make for a great 5-7 in terms of depth.
I think finding and allocating resources for an interim 2C to bridge Stastny -> Glass might be a bit more of a need, though.

I don't if he will sign in Calgary or not but when an insider of Lebrun's caliber mentions a team, than they a good idea of what is going on. The NHL is like a small town, where everyone knows everyone.
Hard to see how either Vegas or Toronto can clear enough cap space to get him.
It will depend on how much he values making as much as he can as a UFA vs. being comfortable in St. Louis.

If he has 4 young kids, he's going to want to live in Vegas for 7 years?

Not hard for the Leafs to clear enough cap space. Almost guaranteed he signs with the Leafs and at a lower cap hit than people expect.

Actually hard to tell whether this (the leafs guaranteed part, at a lower cap hit) is sarcastic or not......but if not why so?

The only way the Leafs can afford him is get rid of Marner or Willy.

Tf? Why? Alberta is a pretty popular offseason location for NHL players. Of those 3 Calgary makes the most sense considering need and available cap space

The key is offseason. Nobody wants to live there in the Winter.
Please re-sign in St. Louis.
I honestly don't want to sign him and get rid of any depth we have. It'll be like going all in when we haven't even gotten out of the 1st round with very very limited option to make course corrections moving forward.
Build a team with depth.

Generally NHL players dont have a lot of time off in the winter, they see a lot of planes, cars, hotels and arenas

This is so inaccurate. Trading Johnsson+Andersen is more than enough to sign Pietro.

I like the idea of AP in Vegas, with Stastny ($6.5M-1yr.) & Fleury (2yrs @$7M) + Glass & 1st (sweeteners) headed to Detroit. $13.5M + $7M caphits 20-22.
Why wouldn't he? He can afford the private schools, doesn't have to worry about the public school system

I feel like you've mistaken Alberta with Nunavut

Lol what? If you have Pietrangelo taking #1 min, then Rielly plays #2 min, Muzzin #3, and so on.
Isn't better to have the defence play their roles rather than above their heads, ...you know for a team that pays their defence one of the least in the NHL and can't win in the playoffs.
St. Louis: 60%
Vegas/Toronto: 20% each. Toronto for the home town edge and Tavares. Vegas edge for top contender and lower taxes.
