Am I missing something? Players get taxed based on the location of the team they play, not the cities they visit. It is income tax and you are taxed based on the federal rate, then the local rate. The chart showed the total "income tax" a player from each municipality is expected to pay. So a player that is on the Panthers has an advantage over a player on the Canadiens because the income tax rate is lower. Where the advantage ends is the other taxes these guys may be exposed to. These are concerns the players must consider and this is why they have managers and money guys to properly inform them of the options.
