  If he was perfect he wouldn't have let in the OT goal...or any goal :P

  Moncton area is nice hope you like it down here :D

  I think a main reason Markov didn't get the nod over Gio is because of his uncertainty next season. Who wants to give the C away just to see this whole debacle happen again next season?

  Sea Dogs are going to be a really strong team this year.

   

  I'm hoping i get to see 10 or 15 games at Harbour station.

  I'm not quite sure how 30-ish values for tax rates is at all complicated but I'll bite.

  For example, in 1992 the city of Philadelphia began enforcing the collection of city wage taxes on visiting baseball players who played games in Philadelphia.[34]" wikipedia

  Compensate stuff like that into the base cap calculation for each team. It's honestly not that difficult.

   

  Add to that the fact that most gov'ts that I know of use Jan 1 as the date to change taw laws and rates, so the tax calc could change in the middle of the season.

  NHL uses escrow to compensate for differences in projected earnings and actual year end earnings. This'd be no different, or any more complicated to integrate.

  I'll agree with that. Redundancy, incompetency, and all the lobbying etc ends up just wasting so much money. But a lot of public resources NEED to be public. Education, Healthcare, Transportation, and the like. Otherwise, those that need the resources can't always afford it.

  Actually its really, really simple. Everything is built into the system by simple adjustment measures already in place for the cap.

   

  From the example:

  If I a player is in Montreal, He's paid 5 million, gets taxed, and receives 4 million in salary.
  Montreal, in turn, has a cap hit of 5 million dollars to their (from above) 75 million adjusted cap. This comes to a total of 15% against their Salary cap.

  Lets say he gets traded to the Tax free Sports team.

  The player is now in a tax free area. His salary is adjusted to compensate for the tax difference. Now, he is paid 4 million dollars. His take home? It's the same; no tax = 4 million dollars in salary
  The Tax free team has a cap of 4 million dollars to thier (again, see above) 60 million dollar adjusted cap. This comes out to be *Ba DUM DUM DUM* a total of 15% against their salary cap.

   

  Like I said....really, really simple. The players would love it. No matter where they get traded to, their salary stays the same. No figuring out which is worth more where at Free agency time, nothing. 

  Its the Millionaire/Billionaire owners who will whine about having to pay more.....
