They're hardly alone. Many wealthy Canadians move to the states for similar reasons. You can live a more luxurious lifestyle in a better climate for cheaper in America.
There's 12 of us, thank you very much.The only right answer is pressure.
america has what, like 10 actual non casual hockey fans?
There’s also the issue that his dad died when visiting Adam in Edmonton - maybe that’s also a valid reason for him not wanting to be there?....I had a discussion on here about why Larsson left Edmonton and signed with Seattle for the same $$ that Edmonton offered.
I said it was because fans treated him like crap for the first two years he was here. Hf Oil fans said players don't read social media so that was a garbage reason.
You mean I was lied to???
if you look at your amounts, the max bracker is well below league minimum... and the percentage you gave makes it even worse than 51% (which I thought were all collected by the federal government than redistributed to the provinces afterwards)Ummm no...federal tax rates in Canada are below and is progressive so they don't pay the max on the whole amount they make, they pay the rate on the amount for each bracket. So saying it's a flat 51% is not really right. Most places in Canada are generally not all the much more than most places in the US and in some cases less. You also get a ton of social services in Canada that you would not get in the US you can argue a pro athlete might not care about those services but I think it depends on their situation. Not having to purchase health insurance if you have a wife and a few kids is a big savings.

Lots of negativity in here. As a boring old Jersey Boy, I gotta say that I love Canada. Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec are all absolutely beautiful cities and the people up north tend to skew friendlier than average. You Canuckleheads got a good thing going on
They're hardly alone. Many wealthy Canadians move to the states for similar reasons. You can live a more luxurious lifestyle in a better climate for cheaper in America.
As for the cities, my sister and her husband traveled to Singapore before the whole pandemic(my sister lives in Seattle, they travel alot, unlike me).
They said Singapore is miles ahead of any US city(they also went to Seoul in South Korea, Tokyo, and Macau, they said the same thing.)
Why are these cities better than US cities.
There’s also the issue that his dad died when visiting Adam in Edmonton - maybe that’s also a valid reason for him not wanting to be there?....
There was no mass exodus.Lmao, you realize there was a desire for a mass exodus from US just a year ago because of the president.
Anyways, one reason why players would desire to play in Canada is that they get paid in USD.
As a Canadian living in Canada and working for a US entity that gets paid USD, it's honestly the best thing ever.
Just like Canada is some third-world country or something. That's pretty weird. Canada is just like USA, except for the southern part. If you are a Canadian born player and you don't even consider playing in Canada, you are a spoiled kid who just thinking about cash and life besides hockey (which is supposed to be your passion). Hey why would i play for a passionate hockey fans, in my own country, if i can play for a southern USA team, go to the arena wearing sandals and make 10% more on my freaking 30M$ contract i will sign.
The issue for many Canadians (and Yankees in the US) though is the weather. Florida is a nice place to retire. 10 degrees F in January can't compete with 70 degrees F in Tampa. It is not very often a person moves from Florida to Winnipeg because of the heat.
It's mostly Canadians saying this.Good thing 43% of the NHL are Canadians who really don't have a problem living in Canada. Then you got your Fins and Swedes and Russians too.
I suspect a large majority of players that have an issue with living in Canada are Americans which comprise 28% of the league.
I can live with a few Americans not wanting to live in this beautiful country.
Yes, how dare a person prioritize their life when making a huge life decision.
These players owe you nothing.
RCAs act somewhat like a RRSP so yes you can defer but if you are a star and you end up with $30 million tucked in a RCA you still get taxed on withdrawal and with any large amount you are not getting it out without hitting the top marginal rate for most of your withdrawal. And again, those top marginal rates are probably only going up, so you may be worse off with deferral.
It's mostly Canadians saying this.
Lol @ you. Breathing on people not the same as not breathing on people. Turn off tv, and just imagine it in your mind’s eye. Turn off hf for a sec. Close those eyes. Think of people with viruses next to each other, then farter apart… there you go.There's 0 correlation between the severity of lockdown measures & COVID cases.
All you have to do is look at the USA. Some states with minimal lockdown measures don't/didn't necessarily have more cases per capita then states with stricter measures. Anyone who tries to convince you otherwise is politically motivated and/or never took a statistic class.
