Well if someone was going to offer you 1 million dollars for 1 year of work... and you had your choice of locations... would you choose Edmonton over Tampa Bay?
I think most people would choose a location that is sunnier with more to see and do in their off time than a snowy/cold/isolated city.
That depends, have I already made tens of millions of dollars like he has or not? If so I'd go wherever I felt would be best to increase future earning potential.
If not, then I'd go wherever the place with the best cost of living and taxes would be so that I'd keep as much of that money as I could.
If a 32 year old James Wisniewski is trying to salvage his NHL career, I would hope he's not thinking about his tan. He should be thinking about
a) Making sure he can get that 1 million contract this year by going to a place with legit opportunity for him to show he still belongs
b) putting himself in a position where he can turn that 1 million, 1 year deal into a multi-million, multi-year deal in 2017.
And if he's not thinking about 2017, then maybe he should be thinking about going out in style with a Cup.
That said, Tampa's a good spot for either of those options. But if he's making beach-related decisions right now, then it's not going to work out for him.
Yup. For me I'd be looking at earning a multi year deal unless I felt that I only had one last season left in my body because of injuries.
