Good point, and it highlights that this sort of arrangement is very specific to the player and his situation. It won't be an across the board thing. For instance, while deferred salary might be an option for Tavares, the fact that he would receive deferred money in Canada, at our lovely tax rates, doesn't do him much good.
I just got a chuckle out of a rather interesting outlier; the Rangers actually are 10th in wins; the only reason they're as far down in the standings as they are is because a bunch of teams down there have a bunch of OT losses.
I'm guessing it ain't great for JT at all. If he has this big successful real estate portfolio I've read about here he's much better off pumping money into that (today) than waiting 10 years for a pension.
That's a surprise, though they've had a decent last ten games. They are fourth in PCT, but they ARE right in the thick of things.
I'm struggling to decide which is more surprising -- the Capitals right at the top of the conference, or the Rangers near the bottom. I have to go with the latter considering I thought heading into the season the Rangers had the tools (on paper) to be a Cup contender.
