Multiple players accepted less money during free agency to avoid playing in this NHL city
Free Agency is one of the most fast paced times of the year. Players are often fielding multiple offers and they have to weigh the pros and cons of each city. Players are often tasked with determining in a very short time, which location is best for their families.
After free agency ends we often hear stories of how multiple players having left money on the table to play for their prefered location. But this isn't one of those stories.
According to Ken Wiebe multiple players turned down more money from the Winnipeg Jets and elected to sign elsewhere. This list includes both Danton Heinen and Calle Jarnkrok, who elected to sign in Pittsburgh and Toronto instead.
There are also other players rumored to have elected similar. With both players like Mark Scheifele and Pierre-Luc Dubois reportedly wanting trades, along with rumors the Jets are trying to trade captain Blake Wheeler. You have to wonder if the instability within their roster was enough to scare away talent or is it something else?
