Marner v Keller tax considerations

Glendale Babes > TOR Babes

So slight adjustment needs to go to Marner as well. +$500k

Damn I forgot the most important part

marner won't pay that much in taxes. you're oversimplifying marginal tax brackets, jock tax, escrow, agent's fees, etc.. the real tax difference is 8.62% of the amount over the highest marginal tax bracket over 42 home games, minus any pre-tax amounts for health, retirement, etc., minus whatever his accountant manages to shield from tax liability. then the rest is a wash because jock taxes will be equal for both states.

the actual difference is probably less than 3% over the life of the contract.

To me, 8x9.5 has always made sense as it's exactly in line with what other top wingers in the league (Kucherov & Stone) have signed for recently. You want direct comparables, there they are. All this being said, you can't stop the fact the Marner camp wants to pick and choose its comparables.

You can't forget average temperature
