Thread: Vegas Golden Knights signed Noah Hanifin (8 Years / $7,350,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>This contract is a pretty good example on how tax advantage is much smaller than most people think given his offer in CGY was for 7.5. Like yeah it totally exists but it isnt really anything to get antsy about and claim it to be a massive factor. 0.15M is roughly the gap.</div></div>

This doesn't make sense. The tax advantage is substantial and much more than $150k.

The difference for Hanifin each year making $7.35M in Vegas vs. Calgary is $640k take home:

Vegas (taxed at 38.9% from https://www.talent.com/tax-calculator?salary=7350000&amp;from=year&amp;region=Nevada): $7.35M -&gt; $4.49M take home
Calgary (taxed at 47.6% from https://ca.talent.com/tax-calculator?salary=7350000&amp;from=year&amp;region=Alberta): $7.35M -&gt; $3.85M take home

If Hanafin stays all 8 years in Vegas, the total take home difference between signing in Vegas vs. Calgary is $5.12M. This would mean Hanafin would have to play over 9 years in Calgary to take home the same earnings as he does in 8 years in Vegas.

Thread: Leafs get their 2C
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arab05</b></div><div>So are you actually saying if you were to start a franchise and you had to pick between Marner and Draisaitl you would pick Marner?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_92</b></div><div>Marner: 1.11ppg, +102, has been nominated for the Selke multiple times and was even a finalist
Draisaitl: 1.18ppg, +55, has only been nominated for Selke twice and never finished higher than 13th

Over the course of an 82 game schedule Draisaitl averages only 6 more points per season, while Marner blows him away defensively. Marner is also 2 years younger.

So yeah, I take Marner every day of the week. And I’m sure a bunch of people would too.</div></div>
Taking stats from up to 10 years ago proves your bias.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_92</b></div><div>Uh, I didn’t know minutes played was the only factor that determined a players skill. By your logic Seth Jones is a better player than Cale Makar. 😂

&amp; yes they did try to trade him. I can’t remember exactly who it was, I think it was Frank Servalli that reported it but coulda been someone else, but it was reported that Edmonton was looking at moving Ceci but the players told Holland that they didn’t want Ceci traded so Holland didn’t pull the trigger.

But keep believing that he’s a top 4 guy. That’s the funniest take I’ve read on here. ✌🏻</div></div>

when you play top 4 minutes on a contending team its not an accident. Ceci is a top 4 dman on most teams in this league and is certainly not a cap dump.

yes they might have been willing to trade him for a better dman that does not mean hes not a top 4 dman. just means they might have been able to get a better player in return.
