Would love to see Detroit take a shot

Same exists in Dallas, Nashville, Vegas, Florida, and soon to be Seattle. Do you see any other team signing players at a tax discount? The constant factor in Tampa is the players want to be there and play and willing to take less money. There is more evidence proving that Taxes don't make a difference when you look at 4 out of the 5 teams in the league and realize that their players took 0 discounts (Maybe Karlsson in Vegas).

It's a factor of many things, not just one. Taxes are one of them as well as the team core the player wants to play with.

As a rebuilding team you would be fine with giving up your next 4 first round picks? Which are likely to all be top 10 at least?

You are right, it is a combination of things, but the major factors are team core, team environment, quality of life, weather, place to raise a family, and more. Taxes play a small part, which is proven by the contracts signed in places like Vegas, Dallas, Florida, and Nashville. The 5, soon to be 6 teams in the league who have no state income tax, still pay a federal income tax.

I disagree that clear take home money plays a small part.

He is shooting at 26.3% there is virtually zero chance he does that over a full season. I would guess he will slow down a bit and ends up in the 70~ point range. 7-8M per.

His shooting % declined to 21.6% (down 4.6%) on the season, since then. So while I was wrong on his point totals, I was absolutely correct regarding his shooting percentage.

I can't wait for the whinging after the contract is announced.

70 points

Looks like Point will end up with about 95 points on his continued trajectory. lol $hee$h

70 points

He benefited from Kucherov going ham. Good for him I suppose? It'll likely cost Tampa 9M+ on his next deal now, so hopefully he stays at that level.

How much of a “tax” discount did Vinny Lecavalier take when he signed his big contract? Players want to stay In Tampa bay because they like it and will take a discount to do so. I’ve been a fan of Tampa Bay in the dog days when they were terrible Craig Janney was arguably their best player. NOBODY was signing there as a free agent because of taxes! They have a great owner and a great organization now since VINIK has been the owner move on with the B.S tax crap.

i mean in a large sample he still has elite 5v5 scoring away from kuch but ok lying works too
