He looks like Knies with a little bit better scoring touch, I love Knies and would need to be blown away to even think about trading him
Now imagine 2 of them
2 Knies would be wonderful .

Robertson might be the add on, but that second does nothing in this situation. That second means far more here that it does to teams trying to contend. They'd likely want Cowan and they should. Or maybe they don't. I wouldn't call Cowan a better prospect either.I agree, we could waive him but it would become an issue as he may not report to Marlies/negativr attention.
The whole thing with him sounds crazy. I cannot believe his agent would not sit him down and give him a pep talk. By all accounts he has the skill to get there. He may just not want to be in Winnipeg. I know a few people who are from the Peg and love it but I can see why someone wouldnt want to live there.
Regardless, unless he says he will only accept a trade to Toronto we dont have too much to move. The best we can do is probabaly Robertson and a 2nd rounder next year. We dont have too much else we can move that would be of interest.
We arent moving Cowan. There is no reason to. We dont know what we have with him yet. It would be nice to maybe get McGroarty but we arent moving top prospects for him imo.Robertson might be the add on, but that second does nothing in this situation.

Almost 2 KniesIt would be very knies
My apologies. That was not noted by me, mea culpa...oops.I hope you noted that I specifically mentioned looking out a few years. This isn't my 2024 lineup, I'm talking 2026-2027, with guys like Knies, Cowan, Minten and Grebyonkin much further along on their development tracks.
my guy the article literally shows that being an american athlete making your cash in signing bonus exempts you from normal income tax. that has nothing to do with sojourning (that portion was just an illustration on the understanding of residency for tax). read the article one more time and understand that you have been lied to via something called omitting the whole truth. Sure you get taxed more on actual salaried earnings here, but check every single leaf's contract (especially those who are american or make their residence outside of in the US while still being Canadian citizens) its laced with signing bonuses which have a 15% tax provision (not 15% on the bonus itself its a little more complex than that but essentially eliminates the tax almost entirely, makes it negligible). If the league begins to clamp down on how much salary can be in the form of signing and offseason bonuses then I will agree with you that we have a league out to ensure americans dont want to play in canada and a league that wants to f*** its canadian teams (I already have a small inkling that this is the case tbh lol).Again. This has been covered in depth. It’s possible. But unlikely. You have to be gone X amount of time, not have any property/long term rentals/ kids in school. It is effected by endorsements etc.
Think tank theoreticals have nothing on actual professionals in the field and real world results.
The same brilliant minds told us that Tavares can do it, but he is now in court with the CRA.
John Tavares Could Save Nearly $12 Million In Taxes On His New Contract
Canada may have high tax rates but careful planning could save Tavares millions as he plays for his hometown team.www.forbes.com
Remember? This article again says that if he puts his money in Joke RCAs, sells his house, moves his family at like 40, refused to have roots of any kind. He can in theory get his taxes down to 43% which is still not 39%
And he STILL got sued. I guess he didn’t read the article? I
Petrys agent came out and said it was a big factor in Canada (he still chose Montreal)
Think tank exercises in articles do not trump actual clients and actual results.
There is NO evidence of any actual agents players gms saying that they get a tax advantage or actually taking one.
You would expect tons of American players coming here for millions extra right?
Edit. To be clear. I am not saying that I am a tax expert. I am saying I have spent years (on my drives for work) listening/reading real world experts opinions which are almost universally that the no state tax advantages are insurmountable. Tangible and indisputable.
No worries! That was my suspicion.My apologies. That was not noted by me, mea culpa...oops.
I understand that and I do like the idea of buying low. But there is so much pressure when the team loses two or three in a row that guys like can never be given opportunities here. They can never be allowed to play and make mistakes and develop.
Yeah, yes really. A great contract year can influence price a bit, but contracts are based on a lot more than that. Marner didn't get his contract just for his final year (which you underrate, just like his previous two). He got his contract because the entirety of his pre-signing period was one of the best of any post-ELC signing in the cap era.Yeah not really. Only takes one good season for them to get paid and that usually comes in a contract year. You should know that. You defend the Marner contract when before his 90 point season his final year of his ELC he never reached 70 points before that. So if what you are saying is true with this comment then why did he get 11 million when he had a 61, 69 and 94 point seasons on his ELC?
Said the Giant Finn on the defence………2 Knies would be wonderful .

Secondly, players who spend their summers here training and have some small secondary ties (Seguin's mom receiving biosteel checks and depositing on his behalf, Tavares having connections to Oakville) may end up getting deemed Canadian Residents for tax purposes anyways while theyre in dallas or long island.
Also how are you going to argue that youve formed your opinion listening to experts and then say the experts in the article about Matthews are wrong because some experts said Tavares would plan his taxes accordingly. We call this confirmation bias.
A trade for McGroarty fell apart not long ago because the team trading with the Jets didn’t like what they heard from McGroarty’s camp about guarantees over ice time and a spot in the NHL
Value wise McGroaty would cost Cowan straight
Dont see how we can get him without Cowan in a deal which makes it pointless as we would want both of them not 1
Cowan's NHLe (NHL equivalent points from his OHL production) was 46P/82GP this year. McGroarty was 39P/82GP. Cowan is also a year younger. From a purely production standpoint Cowan is more valuable.Value wise McGroaty would cost Cowan straight

Did he say why we didn’t?CJ confirming that the Leafs were close to landing Matt Roy stings.
I think what’s missing here is that Marner should have been extended the first day he was eligible. Waiting the year was a miss by Dubas.Yeah, yes really. A great contract year can influence price a bit, but contracts are based on a lot more than that. Marner didn't get his contract just for his final year (which you underrate, just like his previous two). He got his contract because the entirety of his pre-signing period was one of the best of any post-ELC signing in the cap era.
