I know. I live here. And while it’s become a jungle of overcrowding, it’s still a nice place if you can afford to live nice.Players want to
win
get paid
be left alone
live somewhere nice
FLorida checks off all the boxes, the tax situation helps with the getting paid part
Still a massive bummer.I personally think you guys dodged a bullet here….. while FL paying him was necessary to bring the band together
Except tanev was under 35I mean we did the same with Tanev.
They're now at minus $350K with 12 F, 6D and 1G...That would leave the Panthers with ~$5 mill in space with 11 F, 6D and 1 G signed...
My bet would be Tampa. I very much prefer the beaches on the Gulf rather than the ones on the Atlantic...Tax is a big part of the reasoning here, but players taking less to stay with the best team/org in the NHL is nothing new. Beachfront property where you are annonymous is quite the boon too.
FLorida is probably number 1 destination for any FA
