The NHL should implement something to even out the state tax, if you think about it, its not really fair to have people signing for 3-4 million less and making the same amount of money.

Nothing they can do about it, if it is at a state level, mandated by state governments.

One GM said that if someone offer sheeted one of his players he would offer sheet his one of his players every year for 10 years.
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

Which is an exaggeration since GMs don't have 10 year jobs (other than Darcy). But it's true. The NHL is the old boys club and you don't rustle the feathers.

These morons on the NHL network have talked about Okposo and the Sabres for about 1 minute, if he signed with not the Sabres they would never shut up about it.

Filppula they'd def have to let go
Carle & Coburn, and maybe a few other guys would have to be traded too

Not that I wanna help them out,
But we could prob get Bishop for a 3rd
They need to move him badly

- jdfitz77



Carle was already bought out.

He has also missed the most time out of all players on that list.
- Mentalorgasm5


22 games the year his retina got detached, missed 3 last season I think. Not too shabby.

Find that Gm and offer sheet one of his players. DO it and then he basically ruins his franchise losing every single pick he has for 10+ years.

I heard rumours of 6M per year for 6 years for Okposo, I hope that isn't the case for Sabres.That would be overpaying the guy quite a lot.

SO let me get this straight...

Montreal trades Subban because of character issues.

Montreal then signs Radulov?

They could increase the cap by the state percentage tax. So Fla would be at the cap, all NY teams would be 1.06x the cap. If the owner is willing to spend, that would make that all equal.
