Like maybe it's a snowball effect. Elite FA goes somewhere, other FAs look at that?

I'll bet you it does have an impact. When young, talented free agents are signing with a team, others are attracted. But I think the attraction starts with young talented players draftees and an emerging team (ie. Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Brodie). And then like you said it snowballs.
