And while I agree that lifestyle plays a role, housing costs and endorsements don't. If real estate is costlier in one area, they make up for it with the sale later on, if they move away after they are done. So it's a non-factor economically. And sadly, for hockey players, endorsements are de minimus. Look at what Sid gets, and those are national endorsements anyway.
Having been in America for the past few days, you could not pay me enough to live here.
