Player Discussion William Nylander

[TMLBlueandWhite]

Superstar William Nylander skates onto the ice.

"Everyone thinks I'm soft." he says to himself through clenched teeth, his baby blues starting to tear. "I'll show them" he says as he skates toward the bench, his silky mitts balled into fists.

"I'll show then all"
....................................................................

Nylander isn't completely useless. They can always use him as a bad example. Lazy, lazy, lazy. He avoids all physical contact and works about as hard as I do.

They're basically short handed whenever he's on the ice.
....................................................................

Nylander left the ice with head held high. Certain he had a hit tonight. He'd seen other players do it before so he knew what it looked like.

He was POSITIVE he had a hit tonight.

"I showed them." Nylander said recalling his heroics. "I skated behind Reaves while he was in a scrum. I pulled the sweater of one of our own guys. I was in close proximity to minor physical violence more than once tonight."

"I showed them all".

marner, Cowan, Robertson and a 1st. with retention? Retain $250k on Cowan.

Should Nylander be the 2C ?

JT too slow

Why not, he’s paid more that a nimber one winger……..

Want to try this as a third line?

Cowan-Nylander-Grebyonkin

Just for Leafs laughs.

P/60 can be a bit of a misleading stat due to the variance in number of games it takes a guy to play a 60 minute interval. For guys like Matthews, Nylander and Marner who are playing about 20 minutes, that’s about 0.60 or so points per game, or 4-5 points over a 7 game series.

Even Nylander didn't get the same Even Strength TOI/g until the past couple of seasons. He was playing 1.5 minutes less per game than the 1st. line was.

That ship has sailed unfortunately. He's 28, was developed as a winger, and has never spent any significant time as a center in the NHL.

Most definitely he is perhaps past transition time ... unless the ghost of Red Kelly haunts the Leafs.

There are tax accountants, but they work within the base constraints.

There are basic tax brackets for all states and provinces, so easy to see baseline.

So around the same as the income tax calculators for all residents of a state/province.

Tavares being an example of it ain't so simple when you're playing cute with the tax man.

if it was that simple then JT wouldn't be tied up in court with the cra . also numerous agents have come out and said the difference is minimal

I think Tavares got screwed by his accountant/money manager.

Exactly right. There are so many variables involved in each individual's situation that you can't paint everyone with the same brush. Matthews gets a massive lump sum paid to him everywhere at a time when he is resident in the State of Arizona and pays 2.5% tax on the amount received. Tell me how he is worse off than Matthew Tkachuk?

Yeah, sounds like Tavares is claiming the signing bonus isn't income, but an inducement payment that is for artists and athletes.

John Tavares is fighting an $8M CRA tax bill. Ottawa tells court he must pay | Globalnews.ca

The federal government is pushing back against John Tavares’ $8-million tax dispute with the Canada Revenue Agency, arguing the Toronto Maple Leafs captain is offside.

globalnews.ca

Tavares’ appeal argues that at the time, he was eligible for the reduced tax rate of 15 per cent under a Canada-U.S. Tax Treaty provision, which sets lower rates for inducements paid to artists, musicians, actors and athletes.

I don't like his odds beyond the 1st. signing bonus. Once he's signed and in Canada it would be tough to argue it is inducement.

 

[ULF_55]

I think Tavares got screwed by his accountant/money manager.

After reading some details I'm not sure he (His Accountant) wasn't trying to pull a fast one.

Is he trying to claim every signing bonus is inducement so he avoids paying for the duration of his contract?

Maybe 1 year contracts would qualify?

Regardless of when the actual payments were made, the entire bonus was given at the date of signing, so it all falls under the law and location at that time.

I think it's bs, but that's likely the argument.

I recall the following article was quoted quite a bit when Tavares signed. There also a lot of player agents (tweet below as an example) that said with proper "manager" they can save quite a bit on taxes so my guess is that tavares' accountant is incompetent and screwed JT

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.
