State/Provincial tax and the Cap.....Are all teams on a level playing field when signing players?
In light of the recent Stamkos UFA situation, do you feel that its fair that a player can sign a contract for substantially less in one city as opposed to another and still earn the same net dollars? Is it a flaw in the cap? Will this be looked at next time the CBA is negotiated?
It must be frustrating for the wealthier teams in the league who are already carrying their weak siblings through revenue sharing. I doubt that a luxury tax would ever be adopted. I would propose that a new formula be used to level the playing field using state tax rates in determining the cap structure.
Ay thoughts?
