also no state income tax in nevada. it's 20% in bc, for comparison
It’s going to be interesting to see who Vegas pushes out this summer. Martinez is a goner, but I wonder if they’re going to trade a defender like Hague, Whitecloud, or even Theodore.
Walsh has been the agent that has always countered Burke’s assertion about tax differences. I would imagine, like with Tavares situation, that there are ways a tax professional would advise a client to setup a contract along with their own personal living arrangements to lessen their tax burden.
Most US states have 3-5% as their top bracket income tax, it's not much of a difference for most US NHL teams. The fact the Knights play in the same divisions as 3 California teams (which is 13% as their top bracket) dilutes the tax argument further. Besides, other NHL states like Texas/Florida/Tennessee also have no state income tax; people started pulling the same argument for the Panthers recently even though they had been a nonexistent destination for two decades.
People need to recognize the Knights are well managed, not that they're endowed with advantages no other team could hope to overcome.
Don’t think they’ll move Whitecloud as he signed an 6 year deal last summer and no chance they move Theodore.
Hague probably gets moved. RFA after next season and a $2.3M salary. Bottom pair defenseman. McNabb moves to LD and Korzack plays full time next season.
Hanifin- Whitecloud
Theodore-Petro
McNabb-Korzack
Hutton

Floor? More like a ceiling. This is a great comparable for the Canucks.
More bad news for Hronek and his agent.
What?
Hanifin is a better player than Hronek and 32 of 32 NHL GMs would chose Hanifin over Hronek.
It sets a ceiling, if anything.

What an absolute f***ing steal of a trade for Vegas. They get a top-pairing defender signed for 8 years in exchange for a 26 y/o who had just cleared waivers and a conditional 1st.

Whitecloud has been in and out of the doghouse for them. Healthy scratched a couple of times iirc
Vegas fans prefer Hutton over him this year
Yep, same with Hague. Reason I mention Theodore is because he has very real positive value in a trade setting and could bring in a haul while providing relief. Apparently he’s been generally good but also shaky at times for them this year. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Vegas pulls another big move off with no loyalty to keep Marchessault (shut the fuk lil dicky)
Theodore has been dealing with injures and his play has declined in the last two years. It would be a cut throat Vegas move to let him go but it wouldn't surprise me.
He’s nearing the end of his 7 year contract isn’t he? 2013 pick and came into the nhl at 20, so elc plus 7 years is 10 years so should have 1 year left.
It's a good comparable in the sense that $8M is out of the question (not that it ever should have been). Seems a lot of people don't think he's even worth $7M at this point, and this comp won't help with that.
I think Walsh will argue that Hronek is a better player than Hanfin, and that he enabled Hughes to reach stratospheric heights. It's a better platform year for Hronek, and he's right-handed. Hanifin's also never really been used in a true top-pair role until this season.
Just listened to Seravalli and it’s hilarious. Also completely in line when they didn’t pay bills earlier.

imagine you’re a millionaire hockey player in the prime of your youth and you live in one of the planned communities parts of phoenix/tempe area, which a lot of ppl think is a really nice place to live, like basically a paradise rich white ppl for themselves out in the dessert
and then one day you’re told you are moving to SLC

Guess the office staff has now been told or figured out that they are going to be let go in the summer. Might as well dish the dirt. Doubt many in business ops is going to Utah with the team.
Would be over an improvement of showing up to work but waiting for the college hockey team you rent the rink from to get off the ice and how you’re staying at Motel-6s because the owner has stiffed every hotel on the continent.

Still not quite there, Detroit has pieces but they sorta fallen off a cliff since February.
