I've been saying this for years: Saying you're richer because you get paid in Canadian instead of U.S. dollars, is like saying you're taller because you get measured in centimetres instead of inches.

The players are paid in USD not CDN. A $5 million player in Calgary takes home about $567,000 less due to taxes vs Florida. However The 2,342,000 take home American is $3,313,000 CDN so don’t tell me that doesn’t balance out
