Unfortunately living in Canada getting taxed out the whazoo and living in Florida with no state tax is not apples to apples. Just the reality of being a small market Canadian team.
Love this bridge deal, it's what I always thought would happen. It makes perfect sense, this team has a window as long as Gaudreau is here which is three more years. You sign Tkachuk to a bridge deal over that time to keep the cap hit low, and at the end of that period you re-evaluate the team. Another smart move by BT.
