I’ll take your word for we pay more including nhl players. Then what I added is if it truly was an unfair advantage there is no way the other teams would stand by and let Tampa take the advantage ally he way to a cup. It’s just not possible, it’s more likely there is some kind of tax loopholes or something that evens it all out.
There is no special tax loophole for millionaire pro athletes collecting income in Canada...nor should they be. As a Canadian taxpayer why would you be OK with them getting a special loophole? You wouldn't. That's why it doesn't and should not exist. Nothing "evens out". Where you play and are taxed are major considerations and effect your take home pay considerably.
Tampa DOES takes advantage of their tax laws by signing guys to lower cap hits then they would accept here. That's how you get Stamkos for 9.5 and Kuch for 9.
