Absolutely have to even it out. Every no-tax state team should have a “tax effect” reduction in their salary cap amount. That way there is no advantage for those teams against all other teams. Obviously it would have to be added to the CBA, but take the average state/provincial tax rate and apply it to every team’s salary total in a no tax state to “add in the state tax effect on those salaries.

Please Mr. David Morassutti, eye contact is the way to go!! Why can't you look into the camera to help keep your audiences attention at all times not only when you are speaking.

Why is it that the Oilers and Rangers can build championship level team? Is it the tax or bad GMs who over pay for their star players? Sounds like an excuse to me.

@@nerinamak3298 how many stars did the Habs sign? Or Winnipeg? Or even Calgary? It’s not the Leafs, they can afford to be more creative to get players. It’s a no-tax vs taxed jurisdiction issue, and that issue is real. the Leafs pay more because of the 100% 24 hour a day intrusion into your personal life that the media creates of playing in Toronto. Players expect some compensation for that misery. But for Taxes, go ask Brian Burke if it’s an issue. He had been consistent for years that a Canadian. Team will never win the cup due to the tax issue and tax discrepancy. He has been a GM in three different CDN (Van, Cal, Tor) markets and at least 2 (Ana. And Pit) US markets. I’d say he has greater knowledge of the discrepancies and issues than anyone else on this matter.

People can say what they want about the Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes, but i would like to formally thank them for introducing young kids like Matthew Knies and Auston Matthews to the game of hockey. If there were no team in Arizona, Auston Mathews might be slugging it out in the MLB right now instead of scoring 60 goals for the Leafs 🤷😃

One way to level the playing field is to give the other teams higher cap room than teams in the no tax states.

@RichardArchibald-jk7ms Ай бұрын

Wild idea. No cap at all. Too fucking bad if your revenue sucks...welcome to the real world.

Hey boys, long time listener and a CPA with years of experience with expat taxes. Lots of misguided discussions on the taxes conversation, but in my opinion, the easiest way to even the playing field would be similar to a tax equalization. Essentially, every player has two tax returns. The first, their real one, the second would be equalized to a single state in the US (likely NHL headquarters). This return would be for the cap calculation. This way teams in Canada with a higher tax rate would be able to pay players a bit more while not having the same cap hit (difference being the actual tax amount vs the hypothetical return). In the end this might cost a bit more in tax prep fees, but would be huge for equality in the league.

@robm9999 Ай бұрын

Or, you take a tax adjusted income for the salaries they have on their contracts and apply an average tax rate on no-tax state payrolls to gross up their salaries under the cap. You can’t have two sets of tax books because Gary Bettman will never have anything other than one cap # for all teams. So you have to effectively reduce the no-tax state’s salary cap by the average state tax rate on their contracts. Effectively you reduce their cap, rather than giving other teams an expanded cap amount. But there is an answer.

@DeeZee9 Ай бұрын

@@robm9999good points and a good suggestion. I agree it’s hard to see the league have a variable cap. Really it comes down to adjusting the cap to flatten out the tax impact. My thought was he’d rather punish the Canadian teams (make them spend more and expand their cap).

@robm9999 Ай бұрын

@@DeeZee9 knowing how GB operates, punishing CAD teams would be in line with those expectations. But regardless of the way it goes, some fairness needs to enter the picture. And right now teams with no state or in the awe of Alberta, prov income tax have a significant advantage over teams who have state/provincial income tax.

@JD-hm2wo Ай бұрын

No tax states have such an advantage. To make it fair they needs to lower the cap on those states in proportion to tax %. Problem fixed

@kimhunt9458 Ай бұрын

Easy, you sign for a percentage of the cap, not a hard number. Youre traded, you still make the same % of the cap on whatever the adjusted cap is for your next team.
