For a small contract, for one year.
This really comes into play for UFAs, where they can decide where they want to play, so let's look at a typical UFA contract of $7M X 7 or approximately $50M for easy math. On a contract of that size, a player takes home $3M more (12.7%) in FLA than CGY, and $6M more (27.1%) than MTL. That is a pretty significant difference.
I would posit that a large percentage of people would move for a 27% raise. Especially when all of the tax advantaged cities (other than SEA), are also among the nicest for weather.
