Taxes, especially for high end players, taxes don't necessarily mean that much. Players are incorporated....tax rate in Canada is 15%, in USA 35%. So let's not compare what high end earners make compared to most mortals.
Phanuef: He had a modified NTC with 10 teams he could traded to. Don't know them all but I figure 3 in California, 2 in New York City. Ottawa was on the list because Phaneuf thought there was no possible way that the budget minded Sens would ever trade for him. He was apparently surprised and disappointed with the trade (at least initially). IMO, with Dion's low key approach, wife in California, would welcome to play in Vegas.
