Agreed. A dollar of cap space is worth the same in every market. Florida's tax break belongs to the player, not the team. What surprises me is how nobody talks about the RCA. Canadian teams can put part of a player's salary into a Retirement Compensation Arrangement. Once he retires outside Canada, he withdraws it at roughly 25%. Net result: the same tax as "no tax" Florida, sometimes less. And far less than New York, Massachusetts or California. But sure, keep calling Canada a tax nightmare. #WeAreGoldStar!
The flaw in equating Kucherov’s Florida after-tax earnings to a $20M Montreal salary is that it treats Florida’s tax advantage as justification for Tampa paying him less. That tax advantage is a player benefit and not a discount Tampa is entitled to capture.

Iggy 👑❤️
My Favourite #Flames Goals Kristian Huselius dangles through the entire Rangers team and finds Jarome Iginla for an unbelievable goal. Huselius will go down as one of the more underrated Flames in the last 20 years.

I'd rather trade a 2nd for Kirk Cousins than trade a 1st for Jonathan Taylor quite honestly

First career four-point game for Matt Coronato tonight vs. Seattle. A goal and three points and now up to 14 points on the season. #Flames

Devin Cooley starts in net tonight vs. Carolina. Brennan Othmann back in the lineup. Max Tsyplakov out. Joel Hanley the other healthy scratch. #Flames

Coronato on a one-T just as their power play ends. Tied at two.
