I mean if it was a 16 team NTC I'd probably have Arizona on there. But priorities. At least they're an up and coming team and I'm a Clayton Keller appreciator. Jersey sucks. And I just wouldn't choose to be on the Blues
I don't know about St Louis or Vancouver girls but Arizona 110% clears New Jersey
New Jersey right next to NYC? Ehh... and even if you find them hotter, boy oh boy, are they also dumber and more plastic.
Vancouver is lit, especially if you like all sorts of Asian girls. St. Louis will probably surprise some people with its girl hotness level, but really most any large midwest city is going to be solid or better. Both of those cities are also food paradises, and STL is dirt cheap compared to other NHL cities.
