Miscellaneous NHL Discussion: "The March is On" edition

Tax question:

So typically a player has to pay taxes in the road cities for the games that they play. If you're out for the entire regular season do you collect your entire paycheck and only have to pay those taxes in the city/state that your organization is located?

Aka Kucherov plays in Florida, which doesn't have an income tax, so he gets to collect more money by sitting on his ass than playing?

I would assume that the player is still being paid as if they are on the road and would pay the applicable taxes whether they are physically there or not.

I would need more two-play for that price imo.

Hagg 50% retained

If it fits, it ships!

He’s already hopped over Morin, Myers, and Ghost on the depth chart.

New extension is on the horizon.

That Savard Trade stinks to high heaven. Functioning as a cap sponge for a team with title aspirations has to cost more than a late 4th-rounder.

Doesn't stink at all. Credit to Brisebois or whoever put it together. It's about time NHL front offices thought outside the box.

I would like to reiterate that my stance regarding Kucherov is not that the injury is fraudulent but that they thought to themselves “hmm, he’s going to miss 80% of the regular season anyway we might as well keep him out for the entire season and bolster our lineup with the LTIR space.”

They without a doubt in my mind had that thought cross their mind even if it was for a split second.

Let's say this is true, because I don't think it can decidedly be declared impossible.

Good job, GM. You can work for me anytime.

Players on LTIR have their contracts paid by insurance generally, not the team. So I'd imagine the insurance is paying Kucherov direct, independent of where he 'should' be playing.

You will not hear me argue otherwise.

Tampa has really been paying a premium for cap flexibility. We waived Ghost for free.

Also, why are the Avs trading for Dubnyk... They have Francouz

Stolarz for Francouz!

Incredibly important point, Chuck knows how to gain flexibility. And he drafted Kaprizov! We are so lucky

 

[Starat327]

My assumption would be 100% of his salary was paid in thr state of Florida this year.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present to you Exhibit F!

That's why we at the Vancouver Beavers took him as our GM.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Good for Detroit buying a 4th round pick btw.

 

[GKJ]

I love the media handwringing and lauding Yzerman as a wizard and genius for essentially buying a 4th round pick. I’d like to think a million bucks would get me a little more than that but ok.

Again, just an assumption. I'm certainly not a NHL or Florida BAR lawyer.

I cant confirm or deny if I'm Nikita Kucherov, though.
