In Tampa I think the players have bought in a little taking a little less so they can keep more players. Obviously the tax system helps their cause a great deal.
The one thing that for the next little while benefits Calgary is getting paid in US dollars stretches that salary a little bit in Calgary. I think that makes up any perceived discount they may give. Gio starts his 6.75 contract which will be closer to 8m Canadian with the CDN dollar where it is.
