NHL '13-'14 Season Thread

edmonton has always had problems signing ufa's ... they end up having to offer more $$$ and longer contracts .

partly due to a "non winning" culture ... but (i believe) a lot has to do with location . edmonton is "northerly" and a smallish city .

perhaps this can also be used to explain why detroit is snubbed also ... northern local and no stanley cup runs in the forseeable future .

if someone gave me the choix ... live in detroit or tampa ???
