After reading the article, it looks like they are only claiming 15% tax on the first signing bonus paid in 2018.

However, Tavares argues that the bonus was paid into his New York-based bank account in July 2018 and that he spent only 45 days in Canada between September and December of that year, once he began playing with Leafs.

...

As such, he argues, the 2018 portion of the bonus should be taxed at only the 15-per-cent U.S. inducement rate.
It looks like it's more of a question of which country he earned income in.
