Taxes mattered with Stamkos.When making this much money I don't think cost of living and tax rate enter the picture much.

You wouldn't get what you are seeking.What if I was an agent?
Same was said about Vegas.The red wings won't. Leafs won't.
If it isn't clear by now that the team is staying in AZ, not sure what to tell you. The NHL isn't leaving a top 5 US metro market (ever).I respect you rt, you are the leader of the Yote on HF..
That said do you firmly believe the NHL will keep on bailing out the Yotes?
If money matters, then taxes matter. Taxes are money. Less for you.Taxes mattered with Stamkos.
Not sure why you think they don’t have hope. Plenty of young talent that eventually figures it out

Carlson is getting 9 then, crazy market for dmen
That’s why Houston is a threat in a way that Quebec never really was. Houston isn’t going to pay expansion fees. Yet a transfer of a franchise from Phoenix to Houston is essentially a market upgrade.If it isn't clear by now that the team is staying in AZ, not sure what to tell you.

A tenable arena situation in the actual Phoenix area would be the preference, I’m sure. Failing that, Houston is kind of a perfect option that basically appeared out of nowhere to potentially bail the league out.
Going from Atlanta to Winnipeg hurts. Going from Phoenix to Quebec hurts. Does going from Phoenix to Houston or Houston to Phoenix really matter?
People have different preferences. For some people West Texas is heaven on earth.
Do you really believe Stamkos liked Florida so much that he chose to sign for $8.5 MM instead of take $11MM from elsewhere? Zero taxes had nothing to do with it?Salary is about keeping score with your peers and getting what you “deserve”. This isn’t negotiating between 75k and 150k a year where you can see a real difference.
If taxes mattered as much as you say, why don’t low tax states have all the best players and championships? Why do all the rich celebs flock to NY and LA? Heck why do more regular people live in high tax states than low tax ones? It’s intellectually lazy.
Buddy. These are the examples you use to illustrate your point and you’re accusing others of being lazy? You should drop this.Salary is about keeping score with your peers and getting what you “deserve”. This isn’t negotiating between 75k and 150k a year where you can see a real difference.

Look....I would sign in florida over Toronto. Not if there is a 3MM/year difference thoughPerhaps, but it's just projecting to think he didn't sign in Toronto simply due to taxes. Toronto wasn't a good team for ~a decade and just came off being the worst team in the league and picking 1st overall.
To go to a cup contender for that? Can't blame him. Clearly, we were a candidate as he only ended up meeting Toronto/Tampa (not Detroit, Buffalo, etc.).

I read an article.How did you come up with those numbers though? And I don't think it is as elementary as you put it.
Florida has lower income tax but they have other avenues to generate that income for their state- such as primarily through property tax.
Stamkos would also have more endorsement potential in Toronto by a fair amount.
I'm talking in generalities but I'd be surprised if the true difference in relative, net salary per year was to the tune of ~3 million/ year.
