Got this from the Trade board, however I thought it'd be interesting to see for us DRW fans, as we often hear of how UFA's don't wanna come here or RFA's etc. get traded here. The list is at the bottom, but note that there are at least 11 teams "above" us on the list, if not more, since the list is incomplete & a small sample size of agents data, there is no way to know exactly where we stand.
Jets top the ranks of teams on no-trade lists

The fluidity of this list has been quite interesting. In 2015, we polled NHL agents for the first time to get a sense as to which teams are most consistently listed on the no-trade lists of their clients.
It was a fascinating exercise that revealed the insights of players and what they thought of cities. It also angered everyone in Winnipeg and Edmonton.
So we did it again in 2016. And the lists evolved slightly. A team like Toronto was mentioned often in 2015 as a destination players consistently wanted to avoid.
“Toronto is a difficult place to play. … Way too many people trying to cover the same thing and trying to find a different edge,†said one agent two years ago.
Then he added the caveat: If the Maple Leafs ever got good, they would be like the New York Yankees. Toronto would become a destination city for players.

How it works: We asked nine agents to list the top three teams most often listed on no-trade clauses. It’s an inexact science, since players often have no-trade lists much longer and other players have a list of teams to which they can be traded. So in some cases, it’s an estimate of teams listed most frequently or mentioned most frequently in no-trade conversations.
The LIST:
We awarded teams listed first three points, second two points and third one point to get the point total.
The list:
1. Winnipeg Jets (22 points)
2. Edmonton Oilers (7 points)
3. New York Islanders (6 points)
4. Arizona Coyotes (5 points)
5. Florida Panthers (3.5 points)
Honorable mentions:
Buffalo Sabres (3 points)
Calgary, Colorado, Columbus, Ottawa, Toronto (1 point)
