Confirmed with Link: Kings resign Tanner Pearson (4 years, 3.75 AAV)

[Reclamation Project]

Still not getting it.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

No complaints out of me with this deal, good job all around

 

[KINGS17]

Toffoli is a young hockey player with a guaranteed contract. That has nothing to do with running a business where costs matter. Nice try though.

What was one of the major reasons LeBron James took his talents to Miami?

Nice try though.

 

[Fat Elvis]

Bueno, has improved every season. Good deal

 

[tsanuri]

Really like both the term and AAV, but does anyone know if there's a NMC or NTC? Just wondering.

Can't be one except on the UFA year.

 

[sinister6000]

Rob Blake starts strong.

No one wants to live in Miami!

I would have preferred a longer deal in exchange for a higher AAV.

That said, I'm still happy with it.

Spoken like someone that has never left a casino, you obviously have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

One of the strongest business climates in the US, centrally located to the entire Southwest, 5 hours from the port of Long Beach, massive amounts of international business and money, a top tax haven, etc. There's a reason so many millionaires and billionaires live here and work remotely. I know many folks that entire operation is in CA and live exclusively in NV. You couldn't pay them to live in CA.

Extremely low cost of living, some of the safest and cleanest communities in the entire country, 16 national parks within 7 hours, world class entertainment and dining, thoroughly modern infrastructure, etc.

But I bet tax hell California is your idea of paradise. 2 grand for some ****** apartment, massive overpopulation, the worst traffic on the planet, mountains of taxes, etc. The very worst place in the US you could own a business in.

You'd make a lousy agent because taxes play a massive role in negotiating the very best deal possible.

And don't let that post fool you into thinking I'm advocating Toffoli wants to play there. No one but Toffoli knows what he wants.

I don't love Vegas by any means, but there's worse NHL cities for sure. I'll take it over Winnipeg, Edmonton, Buffalo and anywhere in Florida or New Jersey.

Interesting take (with a good chart) on Pearson's deal and just how very valuable he is 5 x 5.

Pearson has not only been a very efficient producer at 5v5 but, Trevor Lewis aside, every player Pearson has played meaningful minutes with has been as good or better playing with him than without him.

and this is very impressive. Just imagine how much damage he'll do with a new coach and an improved system that enhances what he brings.

Over the last two seasons, Pearson tallied 39 goals and 80 points while averaging ~15 minutes per night for the low-scoring Kings.

During that span, Pearson averaged more goals per 60 minutes of 5v5 play (.92) than the likes of Nikita Kucherov, Tyler Toffoli, Sean Monahan and Phil Kessel, while producing points at a higher clip (1.67 per 60) than Nathan MacKinnon, Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin, Jack Eichel, and Alex Wennberg to name but a few.

No chance Blake can go back an renegotiate the Kopitar deal is there?

lol. Miami = Vegas? Sure dude. Keep believing.

You keep ignoring the tax situation. No state income taxes in Florida and none in Nevada. Zero state income tax was one of the reasons James cited in choosing to go with Miami.

...and you keep believing California isn't being made more undesirable with every tax increase passed by the state legislature.

K, lol!

What part of logic escapes you? Miami is a fabulous place for young athletes (endless exotic babes, ocean front views etc.) and in addition the no state tax situation. Vegas also has the no state tax but the majority of babes are knit pants mamas. You guys are freaking hilarious.

Everyone reading this guys posts.

Not even worth wasting your time.

I don't love Vegas by any means, but there's worse NHL cities for sure. I'll take it over Winnipeg, Edmonton, Buffalo and anywhere in Florida or New Jersey.

You might, and the financial perks are nice, but there are many other factors, like in-season travel, proximity to home, etc.

Also probably a smaller factor but keeping in mind many of these guys call cold climates home some of them don't particularly care about the beach lifestyle. Some seem to love it--like Luongo--but look at what happens year after year with FAs.

I do think Vegas offers some perks talked about here, as well as the opportunity to be the "first" Vegas NHL players, and a fresh start--but I don't think they're going to be uber-attractive.

If they are that concerned with exotic babes they can live there during the summer, it's not as if they have tons of free time during the season...

You aren't getting this are you. Miami is a highly desirable place to live, Vegas is not. The fact that Florida has no state tax is even better. Good grief.

What in the world? Lebron James went to Miami because it gave him the best chance to win, period. Weather, taxes, all that crap is secondary to someone whose legacy is tied to championships. Having a still very good Wade and Bosh as teammates in the JV Eastern Conference is why he went to Miami. The guy re-signed with Cleveland after he won titles in Miami for cripesakes. LV isn't winning any time soon, so I just don't see why anyone would be breaking down doors to go there unless it's for a bigger role and a money grab.

Sacrilege. Players only care about the $$.
