To be fair that doesn't really matter if the team looks to be a strong contender at the cup. It's not like players wanted to come to Phoenix if they weren't gonna be playing beyond April.
That's not to say that team location wouldn't play a role still, but team quality, roster, and organization quality plays a huge role. Having Iginla on the Flames and the general reputation of the organization helps in luring some free agents that might not care for Calgary much originally.
