Interesting to see the betting odds for where Tavares lands. I think they make sense. It's weird that that professionals that deal with odds for money dont agree with UG. They must not know about "taxes"

Please no, this would be almost as bad news as when Tavares signs somewhere else.

If Eugene was smart, he would move the team to Houston before selling it.

Because, you know, taxes...

Consider difference in post-career earnings b/w cities if JT is a great player for even next few years, or Lordy, after a Cup win. Nearly 40 years later my Dad & FiL still earn a bit from NYI years. Wendel earns 6 figures to shake hands at games in TO. Tax stuff is short-sighted.

Back on @LeafsLunch1050 from 12-2 today, and I am sure the Tavares conversation will continue. Yesterday, I wondered why Toronto was in the bidding, when it already has @AM34 and @43_Kadri. It was not a popular position, but then a veteran NHL coach pointed me in this direction

Most goals, top 2 centres last season:
VGK Karlsson/Haula 72

Tor Matthews/Kadri 66
(Matthews missed 20 games)

Last 2 seasons:
Pit Crosby/Malkin 148

Its something to consider, but by all accounts it shouldnt be the deciding factor.

Why taxes shouldn’t prevent John Tavares or any free agent from signing with a Canadian team


Eric Macramalla was talking about it also yesterday and said the same thing.

Yup, definitely something they talked about in their interview.

Wouldn't make even close to that playing on the NYI

Also have been reading Tavares and his group want to make this quick, they don't want to keep teams waiting in such an important time.

At the very least he will eliminate teams
