Thread: The Goalie Trade That Started The Fire
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluejackets2000</b></div><div>Ok, good luck with that.
I think he would take a hometown discount to stay in Columbus than to move to Calgary.
What's the tax rate up there now, 50%+? Oh, not to mention the exchange rate of 1 to 1.31.
At least your uniforms no longer look like pajamas.</div></div>

oh where to begin with this?...
-First of all Calgary's tax rate is 47.55%, Columbus's tax rate is 44%
-On a $7,425,000 contract that is (Calgary=$3,530,849), (Columbus=$3,267,252), which is a difference of $263,597...
-Now you may not know this but all cap hits are in US dollars, so a $7,425,000 contract is actually $9,695,810 Canadian... And if he lives in Canada, then he would be paying all his bills in Canadian dollars... which means he has an additional $2,270,810 to work with...
-And finally you talk about the city of Calgary like it would be a downgrade from Columbus... Calgary was just voted the #1 place in North America to live and #4 in the world By Forbes... Sorry, couldn't find where Columbus was ranked but needless to say it was a ways below Calgary...

But hey, at least you guys got that stupid cartoon Blue Bee off your jerseys...
