It's actually not as good as I remembered working there. He was close to 45% in Alberta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 9 hours ago, Keirik said: Ah, makes sense. Still looks like they have a lower state tax compared to a lot of other states at least in the US. I was always under the impression Canada got killed tax wise and that hindered part of their chances to sign athletes here and there. Not Canada. Ontario and Quebec. Provincial taxes plus high cost of living take a major bite out of earnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a bad rap because a couple of people decided all along that they weren’t going to be here long-term for various reasons, but it has never been about the city or the organization. “We’ve just had to shut our mouth and deal with that, but every time I see a comment like that, I get a rash.” Quote “It kind of came out of the blue,” Kekalainen said. “Like, are you serious about this? “Everybody’s talking about him being one of the biggest fish on the market. We always do our list and at the appropriate time we contact the people on the top of our list, but to hear back that, yeah, they’re one of the teams they want to come to…” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful design. And it's not like the NHL will try to push more ads on the players, rink jerseys, or glass. They're done, now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty clear he wanted to go to Philly, who reportedly wouldn't clear cap by dumping JvR to sign him. They're his hometown team, and his best friend is Kevin Hayes. It makes total sense.

Phil Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Or, you know, just not sign Ristolainen and then trade and sign DeAngelo, who make a combined $10M+ — but sure. Too difficult. This guy is such a chump LOL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Ya know. ....id prolly go to Columbus before going to NJ also. I live here but certainly wouldn't if I didn't need to for my job at the moment.

I dont know much about US cities, but I would think that when u make 9m a year you should be able to find a nice place anyway? Or is it that big of a difference between NJ/NYI/CBJ even for the rich?
