There is a simple recipe to get the best players in the UFA market: offer the most money.
If we offer Corey Perry 63 million, 7 years to Corey Perry with maximum front-loading he's likely to pick that over 5 years and 35 million with Los Angeles.
Guys like Marian Hossa who take less money to play in Chicago are the exception.

Suter and Parize > 200 MILLIONS
Briere > stated he chose Flyers over Habs cause he thought they were a better team and it gave him a better chance at winning.
