Marner is getting at least 9.5

How much did Kucherov get? (And those were all UFA years)

Not with that defense they don’t. This is the year that they have their best chance to win it all.

In order to get Marner the same After Tax earnings as Kucherov's 9.5 AAV, he'd have to get an AAV of 13... There's a reason his contract is so low

Compare Marner in between Draisaitl and Eichel type money. Kucherov signed a bridge deal before is big pay day, so don't mention him. I'm more concerned about offering Sparks 1.5 million? WTF????

yea i realized after its way too high for sparks... once u sign players it doesnt let u edit the amount

Sparks would be lucky to get 1.25M for 2 years.. more likely around 1M per year

show your math please or you won't get full marks on your test

9,500,000 x .6336(Tampa's 36.64% tax rate) = 6,019,200

6,019,200 / .4686(Toronto's 53.14% tax rate) = 12,845,070.42

Obviously the tax rates(courtesy of CapFriendly's post-tax earnings calculator) aren't exact, but the idea is still there.

If you estimate that Marner will get ~80% as much as Kucherov (just for examples sake) Toronto would need to pay ~ 10.25

Happy to be proven wrong here as I've been battling with a lot of people that the state taxes are very much a factor...but I have the following:

Canadian Federal Taxes: 32.67%
Ontario Provincial Taxes: 15.08%
US Federal Taxes: 37.32%
Florida State Tax: 0%

$9.5m taxed at 37.32% = $5,954,600

Working backwards and using the Canadian/Ontario tax percentages, you need to make $11,396,399.37 to get the same net pay in Toronto that you would on $9.5m in Tampa

This is ignoring any type of 401k, CPP...and also ignoring the jock tax which means you pay income taxes to the states where you're earning that money....so I think the actual gap is even smaller.

Again..happy to be corrected if my math is off. I'm more interested in learning how big the chasm is between the two cities

I'm not sure as far as Canadian taxes go, but despite Kucherov falling into the top tax bracket, it isn't a constant 37% tax on all of his earnings.

The first 10,000 he makes are only taxed 10%, the next 30,000 are taxed at 12%, etc.
If you add all the lower tax brackets up, his first 500,000 is taxed at roughly 28.7% and then everything above that is taxed at the 37% level.

(500,000 x .713) + (9,000,000 x .63) = 6,026,500

6,026,500 / 9,500,000 = 36.56% tax rate on Kucherov's contract, but obviously that changes based off of the total value of the contract.

How about factoring in the fact that Marner will be getting paid USD living in Canada.. that exchange rate isn't too bad eh
