Around the NHL Part VIII

[*Bob Richards*]

Losing yesterday sucks but thank you, Toronto, for keeping some things in perspective.

My thoughts exactly . Although I want top 6 not 7,8

Don't they also pay a portion of their taxes in the other cities they play in?

So 41 games worth will be in Tampa, while the other 41 he'd be paying taxes (well not 41, since he'll be playing the panthers as well).

All players in all sports pay taxes in other cities but Callahan's agent brought up no state tax in Florida

“Ryan can take a test-drive there and vice versa,†said his agent Steve Bartlett, who says Tampa general manager Steve Yzerman is taking it low-key. “There’s no gun to anybody’s head. I love that attitude.†Bartlett concedes that the lack of state income tax is a carrot. “You can take 10-per-cent less in Florida than New York and have it be the same amount of money.â€

Cano benefitted from signing in Washington state. No state income tax.

With the Mariners, Cano will benefit from playing more than 70 percent of his games in jurisdictions that don’t have a state tax, including Texas. Seattle plays in the American League’s Western Division, which includes two Texas teams -- the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros. Washington voters rejected an income tax in 2010. States tax athletes based on days or games played within their borders. For the Mariners, Raiola said he assumed a state tax rate of 7 percent in the locales where athletes are subject to tax.

As a member of the Mariners, Cano, 31, will pay about $504,000 annually in state taxes, Raiola said. As a member of the Yankees, he would pay about $2.2 million a year over the life of the contract, said Raiola, the sports and entertainment senior group manager at Cranford, New Jersey-based Fazio, Mannuzza, Roche, Tankel, LaPilusa, LLC.

The five-time All-Star’s net pay would be about $12.8 million annually for 10 years with the Mariners, Raiola said. It would be about $12.3 million annually for seven years with the Yankees. That, combined with the extra three years of salary in Seattle, is a difference of about $42 million over the span of the Mariners contract.

The Yankees would have had to pay Cano about $265 million for him to keep the same amount that he will with Seattle, Raiola said.

Cano’s net pay over the life of his Seattle contract is about $128 million, Raiola said. His net pay over the life of the Yankees offer, he said, would have been about $86 million.

Yup, not to mention the cost of living. One of the reasons I'm hoping to eventually go South. 600K can buy you a mansion in North Carolina and basically a "modest" home in the burbs outside of New York. Long commute, high taxes, etc. I love NY, but not enough to give away a significant amount of money forever.

Also, just want to add, those couple extra dollars are way more significant to someone on Callahan's paycheck then Cano's.

Philly losing in regulation today to the best team in the NHL now and the Rangers beating a bad team HAS to happen or I feel like our grip on the 2 spot will slip away.

 

[GFiP*]

Wait, Debbies lost ANOTHER shootout?

LMAO

 

[Megustaelhockey]

1-0 for the Flyers on Lecavalier's 400th.

 

[The Gloaming]

Rask wtf. Unless it was a deflection.

 

[Holocene]

1-1 in Philly

 

[Thunderhead]

Go Bruins .

 

[Thunderhead]

Rinaldo is such a pos .

 

[truebluegoalie]

Rinaldo is such a scrub

 

[Thunderhead]

Rinaldo is such a scrub

I hope the Bruins take care of this nasty pos Flyers team .

 

[silverfish]

Rinaldo is such a pos .

Hate Rinaldo, but nothing wrong with what he did there. Clean hit. Ignila challenged him, and if you're Rinalod, you're not going to not take Iginla off the ice for five.

****

 

[aufheben]

What the **** Marchand, haha. I love him though. So pissed.

****

Correct but he's still a pos .

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Ridiculously dominant PPG by Chara after a bad PHI penalty. 2-2

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I hate this crap where I have to live and die by the Flyers losing. Thanks Rangers for taking Calgary for granted and forgetting to play D and how to save routine shots.

Then don't. This is just a game.

 

[gary laser eyes]

Some awful calls on both sides in this game.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

For all of the macho fans that like to say the Bruins are a physical team, they're a ****ing skilled team. They're not the LA Kings. Using their physicality is just an excuse to complain about how soft we are and how we'll never win the cup.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Then don't. This is just a game.

Maybe to you.

I need a girlfriend bad.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

If that will be the game winner, I'll feel a lot better about Hank's goal.

 

[aufheben]

MYYYY GOODNESSS! Bergeron 3-2. Steve LOLson.

 

[Thunderhead]

Mason.
