The last guy I heard was an NFLer, Tyreek Hill. He said he'd be a NYJ and not a Dolphin but for taxes.
Brett Hull said (about Canadian teams): From the team’s perspective, because of the location of the free agents, they are unlikely to be able to convince them to play for their team. There are many great teams and states in the United States that do not have state taxes. It is great to belong to a Canadian team, but it’s hard for them. That’s part of the problem and probably why there’s such a long drought.
The numbers by the CTF (spit) say that 57% of UFAs sign with no/low tax states. It's an advantage.
And this agent said is was a factor in Stamkos not going to TO:

EDIT:
Bissonette talks about state taxes no end. And Burke mentioned it on TV.
