Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

Man, bolts and cats killing each other as we speak, expecting lots of injuries by end of the game, good for us.
Ps bolts are mad at bias officiating for cats, I guess now they now how others feel
 
Isn’t there a Christmas trade embargo?

Of course, trade might already be arranged once the restriction is lifted and NYR wants to be sure he isn’t injured.
 
I think it's at midnight tonight

That's uhhh...not how taxation works for them.
Stop applying facts and logic to an age old argument that dumb hockey people don't understand.

Tax is 1 element but IMO structure (as much money as soon as possible) and bonus structure should be higher on the priority list and more impact on overall net contract value.

It's not exactly, but it's probably not far off.

They spend 6+ months of the year as a resident of the state with no state tax. So, in CA, that would mean 14% that stays in your pocket.

They spend half or more of the season at home, playing home games.

So there's 41+ game days plus travel days in a year that they play in other states, some of which are also tax-free states like NV, FL, etc. In the ones that do have state tax, they pay a relatively small apportionment for the brief time there.

There aren't actually that many work/travel days in other states with state tax. Not sure how much different the numbers in the oversimplified graphic would actually look.

Creative financial engineering to work around it

I can't be bothered to explain it with sources and links at the moment. Just know that is it in fact, far off from the photo posted. Very far off.
