Congratulations to Tampa Bay! That is an awesome contract for a great player. You guys got a steal of a deal. Well done. Yzerman is doing a great job over there.
He could have got 13 million. Yes he left alot of DeNiro on the table.

If I remember correctly, Florida has the best tax rate. If true, he probably saves a million or so in state taxes.
It isn't fair, you're right. Unfortunately there's just been a "that's the way it is" attitude with taxes and how they effect the economics of sports. I mean, I'd love for this to be addressed in the the next CBA but I feel like for no reason other than "that's the way it is" stubborness nothing will be done.
It's not even comparable to Toronto. That would be like comparing New York for a Yankee to San Francisco for a Giant. Both are good baseball markets but the media in San Fran is just a bit easier on players than it is in New York

Jesus, Leafs would've had to pay 12.4 to match Tampas offer... Really glad they didn't.
OT: But teams in low taxed states have a huge advantage, basically have more cap room than teams who aren't. Not fair if you ask me.

Not gunna lie, I now despise steven stamkos
No Income tax.
I wonder if Leafs fans are now looking at John Tavares and starting a count down clock for July 1, 2018.
Because he re-signed with his team? How delusional are you to think that he owes something to a team he's never even played for? That's just ridiculously petty.
Not gunna lie, I now despise steven stamkos, looks like Tank Nation will be in full effect again.
Really disappointed in Lou/Shanny this off season, hate the term on Andersen's deal, other than the no brainer of drafting Matthews there isn't a single pick I'm excited about and it looks like they half a$$ed the Stamkos pitch.
This honeymoon period is in jeopardy.
