Everything he has said indicates he wants to stay in NY, and even if not we'd be competing with Max bids from many other teams. With the local tax rate and the middling results this season, we are at a severe handicap in that race from onset, nevermind the canadian market thing.
Actually he would pay less tax in Alberta than he would in NY. Not significantly less, but a small bit less. The best place to play from a tax standpoint is Florida. The worst is Montreal.
