I was just posting $ value, not contract type. I could have done Greer as well.
Point being, the higher profile player, the more real dollar impact location has on their decision. Which is obvious, but I thought it might be nice to see at a quick glance.
In terms of how this affects Calgary as a destination. Calgary (Alberta) is pretty middling as far as tax rates go. Basically the same as the New York teams. An American dollar goes a lot farther in Calgary than NYC though, so you're financially better off to choose Calgary over NYC if $'s are driving your decision. However, I'm guessing NYC would be chosen more often than not if that was indeed the choice.
None of this has to do with nationality though. MrButtons sharing the cool feature on CapFriendly drew me in.
