will be interesting to watch, Alberta’s best positioned amongst CDN teams to allow for maximum take home $, which can only be outdone by a no state tax US locale. Obviously assumes any team vying will make same high end offer
Had McDavid had US permanent residency / citizenship like Huberdeau playing in Canada would be a slam dunk due to no IRS taxation on bonus heavy structured contracts, which favors Leafs (CDN teams) vying for Matthews services purely from a $ standpoint
Connor would make 10x he does in Edmonton off the ice if he was in a major market like LA or NYC, which his agent will obviously be reminding him. He is the best player in the NHL and he has no marketability right now he needs to get out of the Oil to see those huge residual financial gains. I think he will.
