Even signing in Mtl, Stamkos w above bonus deal would take home more than any US market
There’s a difference between 8-years and 2-year term
Not in Huberdeau's case. He started sucking immediately.
The foreign exchange is the big bonus for all these players if your here with term
Yes but so far their words and actions have been consistently in sync.
not really, he pays CDN tax levels
How is that a bonus? It’s the same money, and generally you lose money through exchange rate
Sure, but it's easy for them to say after a season where they made no efforts to try have a competitive team, "Well next year we're going to make a push for the playoffs!" knowing damn well this team would need a massive infusion of talent to get there.
Nick pays his house in CDN funds but gets paid in US dollars , big advantage right now.

The lack of loopholes compared to the US tax system (which is written by and for the super wealthy) is significant.

I’m agreeing with you, but I’m going in this summer with trust instead distrust. Doesn’t mean I’ll like every move, but I’m trusting them so far.
I have never lowered my expectations. That's why I want a team that can win Cups, not just make the 8th seed. The way we do that is to fuck the fans and burn it to the ground. Be so bad that abandoning the rebuild to try and make the playoffs isn't even a consideration because we're too far behind.
Didn’t they add Newhook, Roy, Hutson and Struble this past season? At some point next season they’ll add Reinbacher, Logan, possibly Beck, and I’m sure they’ll add players this summer. And Dach will be back, which is probably the biggest add.
