Copying my comment from the big thread to provide context
Do you want to go to a specific place? Team, division or conference?
• No, I am open in this process. I don’t have a chosen destination, I just want the best chance to get to the best team. Where it is, well, we’ll see. I think San Jose appreciated that I was honest with them, because this is a complicated thing to go through. I make what I make and the salary cap ($83.5 million next season) has barely gone up in three years so the money is starting to run out a little here and there.
Is Carolina one of the teams you talked to as well?
• Yep.
Toronto, Seattle?
• I have spoken with Seattle, yes, also some with Toronto. There have been a few more teams as well. Quite a few, anyway.
• Yes, there is interest. Then it’s about putting everything together. That’s the hard part. We’ll see if it works out.
Got Pittsburgh at the top of your list?
• Well, I don’t have a priority list. I am very open, because I think that will lead to the best option in the end.
So he’s open to any team that can help him get to a cup. No definitive answer to where he would prefer to go or if he has a team in mind.

Toronto is the only one close to the Hurricanes in terms of a chance to win, and they are $8 million over the salary cap. They need to move huge salary just to start the season.
So if he picks Seattle or Pittsburgh, he is giving up on any chance to win a cup.
