Having well-run teams like the Lightning won't hurt either

Well run teams that got high end players to re-sign team friendly deals that don't hurt the player because after taxes they are making the same?
Tkachuk sign $9.5 mil in FLA but wanted $10.5 is Calgary and so did Huberdeau? There is a reason why this happens and it isn't just because Calgary weather sucks and we need a new arena.
