Obviously not a scientific poll, but having played PLO at Chasers several times over the last several months, the PLO crowd there is
at least 30% former FW players. (The PLO community is a good deal smaller than the NLE community, and we absolutely do recognize each other). This by itself is the equivalent of 1-2 tables moving from FW to Chasers every day (which is roughly what has actually happened on PLO).
I doubt that NLHE has been much different.
OTOH, I still play mostly at FW (free rooms mitigate the commute), and we do discuss other rooms at the table. There are still a lot of players there who have not migrated to TR, MGM, or NH yet, for one reason or another (TR is a badly-run dump, game selection, lack of overnight games in NH, free rooms at FW, geography, inertia, whatever), but who say that they will migrate to Everett when it opens.
Obviously, none of this is scientific, just everyone's opinions and anecdotes, with some Bravo numbers. Obviously, TR, MGM, and NH have already had a significant impact, but I still think that Everett will have a serious additional impact on FW. We'll see.
