Matt Murray 4 years 6.25M AAV to Ottawa: Anton Khudobin 3 years, 3.5M AAV back to Dallas. Tax advantages help. The evidence is overwhelming

Khudobin is 34

Murray is 26

Question.  Tyler Johnson has been waived.  Once he clears waivers, how does TB move him.  Sending him to the minors only saves 1.1 per season.  Buy outs are done I think.  So what does TB do?

You assume he clears waivers.

One of several examples. Teams in Texas, Florida, Nevada have major cap advantages over teams in higher tax areas..Can add up to 6-7M advantage, Think of what teams can do with that extra cap space.

Apparently not much because the only one to win anything in the last decade is Tampa.

This has been debunked several times on here.

The only advantage really is an exchange advantage of US based teams over Canadian based teams.

Dallas and Vegas were in this years Final 4 too. It does not guarantee success I do agree there, but I do think it is a  big help for these franchises and a determinant to say, Buffalo, Winnipeg and other smaller markets in higher tax situations.

To be fair, Vegas has been one of the best teams in the NHL and has been to Western conference finals and Cup finals in their short existence, and Dallas was also in the Finals too. Its not like they haven't been really good just because they weren't the 1 team every year that gets the cup

So because this year 3 teams from low tax states did something it shows an advantage? As opposed to all the other years where high tax states field good teams.

this isn't exactly true. if a player makes his home base in florida as a lot of them do their income is based on that states rate.  you see guys getting signing bonuses and those are usually the big chunks of their salary which would be at the florida rate.  game checks get taxed in the cities and states they play in.  as an example look at what new york tried to do with jeter years and years back. he claimed florida as his home so his salary wouldn't be taxed in new york. new york tried to go after him

Tampa has been one of the leagues better teams for years, Vegas has had one season where they weren't in the top 4 in their short existence. Dallas has been one of the better teams during the regular season in the league

2019

Nevada, California, Massachusetts, Carolina

2018

Winnipeg, Nevada, Florida, Washington DC

2017

Ottawa, Pennsylvania, California, Tennessee

2016

California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Missouri

2015

Florida, NY, Illinois, California

I am going to stop now since there isn't a correlation between making it to the conference finals and being from a 0 state income tax state.

But the argument is this gives them a permanent advantage. Yet if we review things, they aren't always good or even in the conversation. Clearly the advantage is highly limited if at all.

5 of 20 teams from low income or no income tax states. Again, if this were a real advantage why don't we see it more and why is it that half of the teams from those low income states continually suck. Coyotes, Panthers, Dallas has only been good once through this.
