Interesting. Could the Flames not use this to better their offerings to big ticket free agents? 48% vs 37%
July 1st your residence is Florida/Texas, for the SB.
With the new CBA, maximizing the SB to 60% of the TCV; let's go with a Makar example @ $15m/6 yrs;
$9m SB, annually off-season domiciled in Florida, w/$6m AB/CAN annual salary. That equates to $1m annually more in Makar's pocket.
The player would of course, has to want to be in Florida/Texas in the off-season.
Curious if Coleman takes advantage...
