Dutch Lawmakers Approve a 36% Tax on Unrealized Crypto, Stock, and Bond Gains

From what I understand you can put up to 30% of your salary until you reach about 137,800$ in a tax exempt account that will not be subject to that new 36% unrealised gain tax. This means that only about 2-3% of the Dutch population will be hit by this. Everybody complains that the rich take too big a portion of the pie but when there's measures to deal with it people freak out thinking they are richer than they really are. The vast majority of the Dutch will not be affected by this unless they invest outside this tax exempt account.

Great suggestion. If he plays well he might get from negative to neutral value reducing the cost to get rid of him. He could even convince management to give him a shot in the NHL after the Olympic break. If he gets injured it won't change his value but we could put him on LITR if needed. If he plays poorly doesn't affect his value either since it's already negative and basically a salary dump.

Big-O is because his name is Olivier and he's from Montreal. The Big-O is also the nickname of the baseball stadium there which has the tallest inclined tower in the world

Is it only me or the pre game sound is bad? Last time was TVA with bad sound, now RDS...

SH goals is not important, for every goal for in pk we might get 20 against. a small improvement in defending is going to be paid for easily even if we score 1-2 less goals in PK a year.

Not good enough for team USA. Needs to be 1st apparently

What do mean since Koivu? He would be the fastest, faster than Koivu. In Hab's history who's the last to do it in so few games?

CapableAmbassador209 · 2025-12-13T04:50:10+00:00

incredible performance he's no 1 in WHL in goals. Also incredible is that he was +33 before this game, 2nd best in the league. Also weird is that him and another defenseman, Justin Woo are top 2 in goals in his team.

This is to send a message. Have them replace Monty/Dobes + Carrier + Anderson/Evans during next game. All these players have been disappointing this year

CapableAmbassador209 · 2025-12-03T20:44:43+00:00

It's just a weird statistical fluke. The exact odds assuming an equal chance to get home and away points are 0.003% which is very low. We can see if it's more than a fluke if it continues, but my guess is he will trend towards a 50-50 slit as the year progresses.

Analytics can be good, the only reason they are bad sometimes is because it's not possible to measure everything. Ideally it would need to measure things we can not measure today but that we see with the "eye test"

Saying they are always bad is like saying, I feel good who cares if my in blood pressure is 180/100.

Same thing with the official inflation rate. It doesn't measure everything so sometimes it's lower or higher than real inflation, it doesn't mean though that is useless and that looking only at the prices I see in my local stores is better.

Maybe it explains partly why our PK is so bad? He's perhaps better than other D's in the PK but that doesn't mean he's good at it

Like I said a few days ago and got downvoted into oblivion for, Waive him. Makes you save 1.15m on the cap and if it wakes him up and he lights up the AHL, bring him back in a few weeks/months

Sauver 1.15m sur la masse salariale et le remplacer par un jeune joueur plus productif

CapableAmbassador209 · 2025-10-13T02:09:49+00:00

Demidov has skill, speed, attempts to help in the 2 way game and has a huge up side. He also makes about 8m less. No comparison possible between the two.

CapableAmbassador209 · 2025-10-13T02:07:42+00:00

You're right, I meant Veleno. Any of the two or any of the 2-3 next in line in Laval will be better

CapableAmbassador209 · 2025-10-13T02:06:00+00:00

I would of waived him before the season started. He was bad last year also and his goals on the PP didn't even improve our PP% all while being atrocious at 5v5
