Lets not be dramatic. He avoids paying state taxes in half the games.

He would save less then 500k per year by having no state income tax.

I'm not talking about net salary. I'm talking about what it would have taken to get him here instead of there. Nashville is also in a much better spot for a player his age. We'd have had to beat that offer, which IMO would have been 10ish for 4 years.
 
In 26-27, Nashville will have $35.5 million tied up in five players whose average age is 35. They're really banking on the next year or two, because things get ugly after that.

Bummer we missed on stammer and Marchy but understandable w the term.

I’m fairly optimistic that we can still walk away with some combination of Lindholm, Debrusk, Patches, Stenlund & a physical DFD
 
If the rumors about Lindholm are true (turning down 8 x $7+ million in Vancouver), I'm not sure I want him for whatever it's going to take to sign him. He's good, but he's not 8x$8 good.

It’s tough to the the state tax is a major advantage in UFA when the Lightning had to offer a decently better deal than Carolina was offering and the Predators are going big on term(and AAV with Stammer) for both guys so far.
