Speculation: Roster Building Thread Part VII: Now with less frenzy!

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

You think that they will be bad enough to be the worst team? And what tells you that Gorton will abandon all that he has said he would do (the script that he has followed to a tee) and suddenly start to throw cash at UFAs?

The worst team has an 18% chance of winning the lottery.

As long as we’re bottom 10 we have a decent enough chance at 1.

If look you at the post-tax earnings calculator on CapFriendly. 52.08% of the player's salary goes towards paying taxes for a Rangers player.

Post-Tax Earnings Calculator - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

39.20% is the federal tax.

8.62% is the state tax.

4.25% is the city tax. The Islanders players don't pay that tax playing in Brooklyn. It's almost $500K per year.

$11M salary is the example used.

$6,687,830 for a player playing for a no state income tax team. No city taxes either.

A Rangers player sees $5,728,351 go to the various tax departments.

$5,271,649 is the take home pay. It's less with escrow deductions. The players don't get all of that money back.

$1,416,181 per year more playing for a team in Texas, Florida, Vegas and Tennessee.

The Rangers and the California teams(52.29%) see their players pay the most taxes for the US based teams.

The Habs,Leafs and Sens players see 53.22% go the taxes.

It's a lot of money. It's nearly $10M more over a 7 year free agent contract.

Ryan Ellis is a free agent next summer. He wants to stay in Nashville. No state tax. No city tax. They want him to take less than he can get as a free agent. His agent is saying my client wants a full NMC/NTC for taking less so you can't trade him to another team which might see him pay more money in taxes. Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek were discussing it in their last podcast. Nashville is a team which has one NTC/NMC. Rinne.

I don't think you deducted escrow from the no income tax states

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I don't think you deducted escrow from the no income tax states

Escrow, agent fees, other tax-deductible expenses. And the different tax for different states on a game-to-game basis.

They don't have to be the worst team.

I 10000000% believe they will finish in the bottom 7-8.

It doesn't even have to be the 1OA, if they get a top 3 selection I don't think he's going to sit on his hands during Free Agency next year if certain guys get to it. If the Market is like it is this year, different story.

You know you're at the peak of the summer when you start calculating mathematical nerd stuff because there's nothing else to talk about.

Gorton finally got that elite piece for the rebuild:

Puppy is already 7 months old. Too old to last through our rebuild. Move him for futures.

By the time we're ready to compete this dog will be anywhere from 21-35 in dog years.

If he's 35, he could sign a 35+ contract filled with performance bonuses and a low initial AAV though

He's a lab. By 35, he's going to have crazy canine hip dysplasia. I don't think this pupper is going to age as gracefully as MSL, who will obviously be able to play until he's 800.

Oh, I do not disagree. I see them as a bottom-5 team. Just not sure that will get them the top pick. These lottery's have not worked out for the Rangers under Bettman. I just hope they can stay in the top 5 picks.

This. The contract that he'll get to buy UFA years will cost too many treats against the salary cap.

His high Borks/60 early on will not be sustainable either. There will be a lot of miles on those paws as he nears 30 to 35 dog years.

yeah but this one is already practicing the Girardi shot-block slide

Already in Quinn's doghouse.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Hahaha. This whole page of comments is great. Kudos, folks.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

At least this one won't drop his stick

Beautiful form

Already in Quinn's doghouse.

Makes no sense because his relGoodBois/60 is ELITE.

 

[mrmovies779]

Cant wait to see him (Paw) Patrol the crease.I'll see myself out now...

 

[EpicDing]

I want his jersey.

 

[Siddi]

Great puck chaser.

Keeps biting the refs though.

Keeps biting the refs though.

And licks his opponents like Marchand.
