You think someone who signs a longterm deal in Florida (at a discounted rate to account for tax) would be just as likely to agree to waive to go to a team without this advantage?

Ignore the organization's, success, etc. All else equal. Is he as likely to waive? I'm not sure why this is so difficult.

I don't have enough information to accurately answer this contrived scenario. and this is silly anyways because the organization and success (and other factors) will inevitably be considered and matter.

no one is disputing that teams in no tax states have an advantage though. but you keep trying to argue with people about I'm not sure what?

you've just decided that athletes in florida get 10% more in salary than athletes in toronto. I reject this assumption until I have the actual data. there are tax impacts, but none of us actually know how significant they are.

Sure, that's a different argument. Now you're getting into tax law. I'm not looking to debate tax law.

wait so what argument are you trying to have then?

we agree that no state tax is an advantage vs. some state tax.

we agree (I think) that the Leafs have been poorly managed.

those were my two initial points...

"I'm sure tax considerations are the first thing on this pro athlete's mind when considering a trade."

Just completely made up. So I responded to it by explaining it in simpler terms.

your post quite literally suggested this... the very first thing you wrote when discussing a Pasta to Florida trade was 'of course he'd waive for no tax'. what other inference was intended by that statement?

Show me where I said it's the first thing they think of and sole requirement for a player. You are stuck in a very black or white trap right now. Not everything is one thing or the other. There are layers in every decision that people make.
