I am not an accountant but I suspect taxation in Penn is better than it is here. That said, making American dollars living in Canada is a benefit. These things are fluid though so it really would take some financial planning, economist, or an accountant to understand what the net difference would be. Suffice it to say though, I would imagine that the Flames will be able to meet what other teams may offer.
Family is a huge consideration, no question. And if he does leave I bet it is for this reason and not because the Flames didn't offer him enough money or they didn't sign him a year ago like others are saying with
zero evidence that this is the case.
