Sure maybe, but francophone players will likely accept it, and being out east, travel will still be much much better for QC players than it even is for Winnipeg players being in the west, which will be more of an appeal. The taxes won't help.
Regardless, I think its totally fair to say, it's probably always going to be a lower priority destination for players, but I think the real point is, it doesn't matter, they will just have to work harder than some other destinations to build a winner, but that's true for almost every market that isn't New York or LA, just to varying degrees.
