But when deciding where to go in 2014 you couldn't have been certain that would have happened, so you're essentially betting -- choosing to hold CAD over USD, over YEN; which is just speculation on an investment just like any other, and not really how you'd base your decision to sign.
In the short term you might make money, but in the long term it doesn't matter. Cost over living is more relevant than exchange rates, and most young players are not thinking about cost of living.
