He knows he will be overpaid.

they all are, what matters to these guys is how much money they walk away with. Taxes become a key element in how much they ask for every team.

Complete neophyte in betting, but can you really bet on a 1/1 odd?

And yeah the salary after taxes is lower, but he'd be paid in US$ while living in Canada.

Sure.

Câlisse...j'essaye de me consoler en me disant qu'il est encore jeune qu'il est en santé/n'a pas d'historique de blessures majeures.

Backes rumoured to MTL, didn't he say that he wouldn't play for a canadian team? And unless MB part ways with Plekanec, how credible is this?

i think that's only really a game changer for guys who put down roots in Canada in the offseason. not sure it's a huge factor on in-season expenses. don't think Stamkos is dreaming about the 30% he'll save on his Internet bill.

Réinvesti une bonne partie de ton salaire, achète toi des immos via ta société de gestion et l'imposition ne sera plus vraiment un souci...

(frank) you and the horse you rode in on.

dump Desharnais in a ditch somewhere.

Galchenyuk
Staal
Plekanec

it still kinda sucks but it climbs out of "pathetic and sad"

Tom Martin ‏@4TomMartin · 19m19 minutes ago

Steven Stamkos' salary AFTER TAXES, if paid $12 million per year:

DET: $6.5 mil
BUF: $6.3 mil
TOR: $5.6 mil
MON: $5.6 mil


Tom Martin ‏@4TomMartin · 18m18 minutes ago

Tampa Bay's reported offer of $8.5 million per year would translate to $5.2 million. If signed before Friday, they get 8th year. (2/2).


Tom Martin ‏@4TomMartin · 16m16 minutes ago

That's assuming the parties listed would offer 12 million. Doesn't seem like that would happen. #Sabres certainly hold financial advantage.

Stephen Whyno ‏@SWhyno · 34m34 minutes ago

If you're into betting on the whims of one person, Stamkos odds: TBL 1/1, DET 11/4, TOR 7/2, BUF 8/1, MTL 12/1, VAN 22/1. Stamkos should bet
- Symba007

If he has good tax planning he'll never pay that in either place...depends on respective tax laws of each place.

I'm sure if MT gave him more PP time he would've eventually gotten it.

i hope Galchenyuk asks for a trade and goes public with it and we end up trading him for Ryan Callahan.
