Agreed. A dollar of cap space is worth the same in every market. Florida's tax break belongs to the player, not the team. What surprises me is how nobody talks about the RCA. Canadian teams can put part of a player's salary into a Retirement Compensation Arrangement. Once he retires outside Canada, he withdraws it at roughly 25%. Net result: the same tax as "no tax" Florida, sometimes less. And far less than New York, Massachusetts or California. But sure, keep calling Canada a tax nightmare. #WeAreGoldStar!
The flaw in equating Kucherov’s Florida after-tax earnings to a $20M Montreal salary is that it treats Florida’s tax advantage as justification for Tampa paying him less. That tax advantage is a player benefit and not a discount Tampa is entitled to capture.

Ennismore Hockey Community Comes Together for 16-Year-Old Goalie Mattais Wojtowicz Mattais, a St. Peter’s Secondary School student and longtime member of the Ennismore Minor Hockey Association (EMHA), has been diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, a form of cancer. He is currently recovering from abdominal surgery to remove a mass and is expected to begin a four-month course of chemotherapy at SickKids Hospital within the next one to two weeks. The EMHA has made the decision to dedicate this year’s Hockey Weekend in Ennismore, running November 5th to 8th, entirely to supporting Mattais and his family. All proceeds raised throughout the four-day event will go toward helping with everyday expenses, including meals, travel, fuel and other costs, allowing the family to focus on Mattais and his treatment. ptbocanada.com/journal/ennis…

It’s crazy how some Hometown Remix jerseys are $384.99 in Canada.

Bang on here. Just look at the details in the Canadiens Heritage Classic jersey. The details make jerseys incredible.
As I said on @thesheethockey today: Jersey mockups miss so many details and Easter eggs that make the finished product interesting. Doesn’t meant you’re wrong or that your mind will change when they’re officially released. But it’s like an AI summary of long-form feature, FWIW.

How many times in NHL history has a team gone through the process of designing a new jersey, producing it, and getting players to wear it to a team event and then it never seeing the light of day again?

YIKES 😳 Trump snaps at a reporter asking him about why he's dismissing sexual abuse allegations 👇 WOMAN REPORTER: Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
