Just a slippery slope to say let's throw a dart at the "tax rate" and judge all the NHL homes that way.
It's accounting and their rules change more than diapers doo.

Besides, US cities carry debt-loads in US dollars....CDN cities do it w/ the weak CDN-pesos.

League should be run by hockey people [period]
The day it's accountants and lawyers at the helm their doomed (hmmm the end is nigh - repent!)


Could do something about a increase in cap based off of the tax percent, would get wacky when they get traded though.

Tis true for some yes.
But for other factors, there's huge quality of life in VAN or TML for example w/ great schools, medi-plans, the "Roxy" night-club etc. that gotta be better than DET or BUF or GLENDALE or NJ etc etc?
Are we gonna try and monetize that quotient too?

Course not...the Cap-works, could he be tightened or made more flex; absolutely.

VAN and TML are also 1 and 2 in North America for cost of living, on top of the higher taxes. If you’re a pro athlete and your team covers your health care for you, that’s not exactly a benefit you’re receiving for your additional tax dollars.

Completely off-topic, but speaking of swimming, Caeleb Dressel just broke the Olympic record for the 100M freestyle. What a freakish athlete. Best swimmer since Phelps. #USA

To an extent I agree, the more bureaucratic sh*t becomes the harder it becomes to deal with it. But by the same token the NHL (and all relative leagues for that matter) are filled with different set of rules to even out the competition and trying to make things set and fair for all participants.

Salary cap value differential based on locations, while being problematic, is not something that should be touched unless it clearly shapes the NHL in a way that makes the teams with the slight advantage to be constantly the stronger ones.

Prorating the salary cap is one way to solve it. Dividing the league is another. Abolishing it is also a way to solve it, but we all know that's not going to happen.

I think being flexible is good for the League, don't get me wrong.
Baseball has the luxury tax (go over the Cap you pay a fine $$$)...I'm OK w/ that type of penalty.

Pre-Cap - the NYR for example (I'm generalizing) - had a couple of super-priced millionaires suiting up w/ mostly thousand-aire pluggers...
They were largely un-successful on the ice and it proved to be a recipe of lousy "team" building.

Those pluggers stopped working their a r s e s off for the prima-donnas...

I don’t speak men’s swimming, ours is @ss. Our females swimming is the complete opposite because it’s one of the best.

With all of Boston’s moves today, is it clear that DeBrusk is getting traded?

So Buffalo signed Craig Anderson and Aaron Dell. The Sabres are really trying to have the cheapest goalie tandem possible at $1.5 million combined. There are currently 40 NHL goalies being paid more than both of Buffalo’s goalies combined. Montréal is spending nearly 9 times as much on goalies than Buffalo is.

Trade? not straight away IMO

JD had COVID and did not adjust to little or no pre-season. Sweeney shouldn't sell low unless it's a no-brainer.

Tonight - Boston has 23 NHL contracts, all their picks for the next 3-years & US$1.1Mil in Cap space. Only missing piece is #2C Krejci!?! (CF rumour is he will ink & can sign for cheap w/ incentive-laden contract +35yrs)

A trade: could be possible by US Thanksgiving or next TDL depending on the playoff-push they find themselves in...

I’m just thinking that if they want to win they need a #2 centre, if they can get Krejci without having to move any pieces than I think they shouldn’t do nothing, but if they were to make space for a number 2 I think DeBrusk would be one to go if he can go for the right price.

I feel with the Pacific being so bad SJ could actually make it to the post season even with their flaws.

Detroit is in a slightly more advanced stage than Arizona and Buffalo now that they have Nedeljkovic in goal. He'll give them a bit of a boost.

True it could def happen (trade).

Who is the 2C coming back?
Eichel?

I just think they made a ton of moves in the last 5/6-months back to the last TDL.
If DK is not in the Oct lineup they could try by committee up the middle w/ Folig/Coyle/Haula platooning 2C/3C.
JD starts at 3LW (up to 2LW if needed re: injury) - he knows that tonight he's 3LW, so has to get his game ready for that [period].

Me? I don't give up on JD yet because come playoffs, when it truly matters - the dude's clutch. He has more IMPT goals than anyone else in 2015 class including Mc J-e-sus...
