Gaudreau’s 50/50 huh

80 million over 8 years obviously is 10 mil a year.
To match in 7 is 11,428,000

Tax havens? Florida and Nevada are the best with NHL teams however most other states including New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, Washington are on the other end of the spectrum.

Do Florida and Tampa have cap space to acquire a Guadreau as a free agent so Johnny can pay less taxes? Vegas has a few cap issues to mull over as well. California is terrible for high taxes.

Buffalo, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Detroit, Ottawa etc could possibly afford the 11.5 mil however those teams were all out of the playoffs before Xmas. Does 7th game, series winning, overtime goal scorer, Johnny want to start over from scratch?

If Treliving offers the guy 10-10.5 I think he’s untouchable by anyone else.

I say 80/20
