Which attractive places would you have listed or added?
LA, DET, ANA and SEA will have some high end prospects to grow with, also SEA has tax benefits.
He'd be a GOD in Arizona and have a brand new castle to play in.

Whatever has the lowest taxes since that is supposedly the only thing players care about

Seattle would named him Captain, he'd help attract free agents as well, I could see Francis selling him on those tax benefits but also feel only Arizona is behind them in terms of being a playoff team with those 5 listed.
He's still young enough to wait out another 2-3 years until prospects, trades, signings start filling out the depth.

Matthews + Seider as a foundation with Stevie Y building around them? That would be unfair
Thankfully Matthews would never go there. He'll likely resign, if not I can see him heading out west to somewhere like LA
Yeah most likely, but its fun to play around with the idea.
No superstar will play in Arizona ever. That is a cap dump place, why would a multi-millionaire star choose zona' over LA?

Arizona - lower taxes, on the up-swing (they're not going anywhere especially since Bettman let's them play in ASU)
Seattle - lower taxes, big market potential, more money (cap space)
Anaheim - same as LA but better prospect pool
LA - too many distractions
Detroit - shithole

since when is Arizona "on the upswing" lol
Have you ever been to Southern Cali? Expensive yes, but very nice, especially the shore points, which are about 20-30 mins from Anaheim.

Since acquiring a shit-ton of picks, and by the time Matthews' signs with them should be ready to compete.
If he's wired the way I think he is. Toronto. You make more money and it means more to win here than anywhere else.
Winning a Cup in Toronto would make you a literal hockey legend. A Toronto Cup would be the equivalent of the Cubs World Series ring.
If he just wants to chase money, it'd also be Toronto. Matthews makes an additional $4 million on endorsement deals.
If he wants to go home, Arizona obviously.
If he wants to live in a city that is great for the wealthy but be anonymous while doing so LA or NYC.
Those other cities in the poll make zero sense.

Again-
I lived in metro Detroit my whole life. It is not a shit hole. That narrative is old and needs to die.

It's just my opinion. Michigan is a decent state, but Detroit isn't a city on the top of many peoples' lists.
