Toronto may play a small role in not getting guys but it is definitely behind winning and money. Those are by far much bigger factors in attracting FA's, especially top guys looking for 5+ year deals, than Toronto being in Canada.

Don't estimate how poor an idea it is to compare 1992 to 2015. Nobody likes playing on concrete, and now you don't have to in all but two stadiums. It's true that Toronto is likely more attractive a town than Tampa, so i guess if you hate playing on concrete (which most players do, especially older ones, who tend to be UFAs) then Toronto is the second worst place to play half your games.
