Why does everyone ignore the 2.35% medicare tax in the US?
Because HF fired all of its resident tax experts

Leaf fans, or Kypreos...who is more hurt??
Escrow pays out in USD wherever he lives.

Definitely Leafs fans. The parade they had setup for him went to waste.
Seeing all the rage and bitterness over this, I wish he had waited until July 1st to announce it.
Hedman is a UFA after next season?!?
You'll see a lot of fun, when Bolts start to lose players who are more important for the team, than Stamkos...
Whom are we losing, We cut Carle today which frees up 5 million or so and Bish will be traded by next year and we cut Flip or trade him and we have enough cap space to keep everyone.
This contract is yet another example that if the league was serious about their business they would have an adjustable salary cap for each team based on state/province taxes.
Stamkos is a *****...it's pretty obvious it was just meant to pressure Yzerman into upping his offer the entire time. All the liking tweets nonsense ect. And he never had the balls to face the media himself about it once just let his agent spread ******** rumors he knows will get peoples hopes up in Toronto because he lives there. Hope he get's boo'd in Toronto, not because he necessarily deserves it but just because it's more fun than indifference.
That's a ridiculous proposition.
I actually agree with him. How is it fair that some teams has much lower taxes than other teams?
Its a huge advantage for them because players make alot more money on the same deal in Florida for example than in other states.
That's a ridiculous proposition.
Geez... all the ********. Stamkos WILL play in Toronto, I predict, just like McDavid... at the very end of their careers to cash in the nostalgia.
First - administrability. Talk about a logistical headache.
Second - legality. There are probably more than a few issues with that.
Third - plausibility. No way the owners would agree to it.
Fourth - Competitive fairness. This is basically a way for Toronto, Habs, and Rangers fans to ***** and moan that no one is signing there. Guess what - they're not signing there because of the teams, not because of the tax situation. Higher taxes give numerous advantages (reliable mass transit, medical coverage, roads, etc. ad nauseum). Moreover high tax areas tend to be highly desirable areas.
Fifth - slippery slope. Do we also control for property values in a location? 1 million can get you a 4000 square foot mansion in Dallas. It probably wouldn't get you a 400 square foot apt. in Manhattan. THAT'S NOT FAIR!
TLR - quit whining.
