I don't think I have ever seen a free agent quote the practice facility as a reason for choosing a team.
Biggest reasons seem to be:
1.Money
2.Travel
3.Climate
4.Winning Team
5.Lifestyle/Family desires
6.Role on team
Money and travel seem to be the biggest deciding factors IMO. It explains why Boston, and the Rangers out draw the LA's and Anaheims in the free agent market.
