1.15M ? His agent is drunk ?

Very team friendly


Taxes and weather do their thing

 

[iam76]

we will take it.. maybe by year 34 the shots hit the net.... he can live on the bottom pair.

Very team friendly


Taxes and weather do their thing

winning too.. plus he feels this place is home.

 

[Idiot Stick]

he never wanted to leave here, i really hated when he got traded away

Dude hits like a truck and is solid defensively

He had a monster playoffs

 

[Chaos2k7]

Wow, that’s a great deal for the Panthers. Winning culture sure makes a difference.

Taxes? That's like 3 million in a high tax place, let me show you my calculator.

 

[Edmonton East]

Awesome for Panthers

 

[TotalHomer]

Death, taxes and Florida

 

[AvatarAang]

It's them damn taxes again...

Stay on topic, why can’t you just be happy about re-signing a player instead of bragging about low taxes in every thread?

 

[GordonGraham]

Damn he could have gotten that money on a 2 year deal pretty much anywhere in the league (2x2.3m)

Team friendly, player friendly length. More than taxes, FLL is his home

Playoff Kulikov was substantially better than regular season Kulikov. There's a good chance he's retired either by LTIR or by AHL by end of year 3.

Bargain

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Even adjusted for taxes, it just a weird deal for 4 years. It like a player saying "I think I want to play 4 more years before I'm forced out of the league, how do we make this happen so I can keep playing?"

He lives in Florida, instead of taking 2.3 x 2 and retiring at 35, he gets the same cash over 4 years and gets to keep his family in Florida.

This deal vs OEL. Taxes. Get the Calculators.

If he signed with the Leafs he would need to make at least $6M/year to get same earnings. I got the Calculator out.

There's nothing wrong with salary structure. Panthers just have a better one due to Calculator.

1.15M ? His agent is drunk ?

Yes I think his agent was doing jello shots for breakfast today lol

 

[Jared Dunn]

Wow what an EA sports contract

 

[Firsov99]

Peanuts for what he brings. And a “home-grown” player too. Good for the Cats.
