Quoting: Bcarlo25
ya....no. the extra year and 1.25 million a year more than makes up for the tax issue. it isn't WAYYYYYYY less. It's actually more. So the two worst TAX MARKETS (I can use all caps too) are NYC and Toronto. 6x6.75 in Dallas gets Skinner $25,652,700. 7x8 in Toronto gets Skinner $26,230,400. So...that's more. Boston for example is 32.6. So no, it's not WAY LESS. It's more. And, there's another perk. you don't have to live in Texas.
Hey man! Thanks for reusing the calculations I just did in a previous answer in which I quoted you and then take ownership of 'em. It's nice that you keep hammering on your POV when you're always confirming that my point was right without actually writing those words. Anyway, I knew what I was getting into by answering you the first time. I've seen lots of your answers in previous thread and read that lots of people know it's impossible for you to conceide a point or admit that others can write something good. Basically, everything I was saying, you agreed with, but you're phrasing it as if you had the right answer and not me lol it's funny to read
Let's resume : I say Skinner gets 6x6.75 because of the tax avantage in DAL, you say he gets 7x8 on open market (which is almost exactly the same amount in more than half of the states/provinces he could play in, see my calculations that you took ownership of).
You say NSH & WPG are better than DAL, which is exactly what I wrote.
You say they aren't making the playoffs next year, but you don't argue with me on the "DAL is behind NSH/WPG/STL in terms of strengh in the central"...so we're on the same page. Which means that by finishing fourth, they'll clearly be fighting for a WC spot (thanks for agreeing with me)
You say that there's "NO WAY he accept 6 years instead of 7" and "no way he takes a 10% cap hit reduction". Then, after I do the math for you and you realize there's a total difference of 96 000$ a year between both our offers, you hammer me on the "my offer is more, look there's a 96 000$ a year of difference!" point and totally forget MY POINT which was that players accept less "GROSS" money on their contracts in those kinds of states than in others because of the tax incentive.
You can't always be right, my friend and your opinions are not always better than others. I made good points, you did too while talking about the money and term on the open market, but still, there was no need for all those replies since you are basically saying the exact same thing as I am, but by discrediting me and writting the same point but in different words...anyway, have a good one, dude & I hope we cross path again
