No. They are paid by the game, not by the week. Half the games are away, so half their pay is taxed at the away game rate.

I’m surprised to hear you say that. But I don’t have a litany of evidence either. I might look for some later but more likely I’ll forget.
I agree. Deboer is toast and based on this incident I hope to God the Bruins steer clear of him.

These articles say that players sign with all teams. Sure I don’t disagree. These articles also say the average savings per player is minimal.NHL Taxes: Do State Income Taxes Affect Sports Team | Scripted
In the past, we have discussed how the jock tax has athletes paying multiple states at numerous rates. With this information in mind, how does that affect which team these talented individuals decide to play for? Let's take the National Hockey League (NHL) as an example. The quality of the team,www.scripted.com
Are Tax Rate Differentials Giving Some NHL Teams an Edge?
Delve into the intersection of NHL success and tax policies. Examine how differences in taxation across Canada and the U.S. could be shaping the league's dynamics.www.zeifmans.ca
These articles do nothing to overcome the fact that this isn’t a question about whether 4th line guys or a 7th defenseman will still sign anywhere they get a deal.
If they don’t break it down and somehow focus on the most highly sought free agents then I don’t know what we are doing here or why we are doing it.

its nothing more than a crutch for people who root for a team with a crap GM.
Teams have advantages in FA, sky is blue, water is wet.
Toronto/NYR have an advantage in sponsorship opportunities
Boston/Detroit/Montreal have an advantage in being historical franchises
The 7 Canadian teams have an advantage since players know how rabid and supportive the fan bases are
LA/Vegas/Florida/Tampa have an advantage in weather
Edmonton can sell a FA on "come play with McDavid"
Colorado can sell a FA on "come play with Mack and Makar"
and another thing, what big FA signings have Tampa or Florida benefited from? Kucherov/Hedman/Vasy/Point were all drafted. Barkov was drafted, Tkachuk and Bennett were traded for
Well that’s a new argument that has nothing to do with what I have said.
At the end of the day I don’t disagree with the bolded and I’m not arguing something needs to be done about it.
On the other hand your first two sentences almost had me not read your opinion. I wouldn’t call it a crutch as much as an interesting situation. I imagine most of the ‘crutch’ people would similarly disagree with that vey weak part of this argument.

These low risk continuity signings do scream Lou Lam.
Palmieri is one that most would do though.
Consistent 20 goal guy that plays a game that has aged well. just under 5 million for that might actually be a bargain given the pants on head stupidity we're going to see in free agency with the cap going up plus there being so few actual big names.

Panthers are about to set NHL record for games played in three-year span
When the Panthers take the ice for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final in Edmonton on Wednesday night, it will be the team’s 309th game over the past three seasons and one that ties the NHL record for most games in a three-year span.

The future of standout winger Mitch Marner remains uncertain, as the longtime Toronto Maple Leafs forward is set to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason.
If he doesn't return to Toronto, there figure to be plenty of teams looking to bring Marner aboard, and a recent report from David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period indicates there are roughly seven or eight landing spots that would be preferable to the 28-year-old, should their be enough interest from those organizations for an official offer to be submitted.
Pagnotta reports that among the teams Marner has interest in are the Vegas Golden Knights and Los Angeles Kings. Pagnotta also indicates that there could be some teams with excess cap space, such as the Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks and Columbus Blue Jackets, that could line up big-money offers for Marner, though it remains to be seen if he'd be interested in joining a team that's not contending or close to it.
It certainly makes sense that the Kings and Golden Knights would be after Marner. Los Angeles is looking to snap a decade-long streak of first-round playoff exits, having not advanced to the second round since they won the Stanley Cup in 2014. As for the Golden Knights, they're only a couple of years removed from their first title, and adding a player of Marner's caliber can ensure they remain competitive for years to come.
The Marner sweepstakes figure to continue heating up as the offseason continues. Free agency doesn't open until July 1, at which point we may have a clearer picture of where the star playmaker will be headed next.
I don't understand how Vegas could afford Marner but if they're true to form they could work some voodoo and make it happen. That team needs an injection of speed and offensive creativity and Marner could certainly bring that. And if anybody can turn him into a more consistent big-game performer Cassidy and the Knights can probably stake a claim to offering better odds on that than most.
I don't think the Bruins are seriously in on that race and I hope they stay away.
