This kind of thing impacts people like Matthews and McDavid way more than the median NHL player, since the marginal tax rate only applies to the highest portion of incomes. I don't think someone like Nikolai Knyzhov, Sam Lafferty, Blake Lizotte, or whoever would really care. Lots of members of the NHLPA wash out during ELC/RFA years.

No I answered the opposite. The cap shouldn't be dependent on government decisions - each team should have the same financial ability to sign players. And tax adjustment is one of the easiest fixes possible (and no team possibly has a valid complaint).
