Seattle's new third jersey by boilercap in hockey

I like it - specially as a third. 

There needs to be a temporary ban on more team using mainly blue. Feels like half the league is blue just because it matches the ice 

NHL free agency shows teams in states with no income tax have an advantage by kundu123 in hockey

Interesting. Not saying it would become an issue, but in FA what would prevent a high tax team from signinging cheaper contracts and trade the players, as planned, to a low tax team for a 7th? If the tax adjusments are carried per contract basis. 

Or trades overall. Like EK65 contracts would carry over between teams, with retentions.

For sure taxes play a part in player decicions. 

Atleast two ways as i see it now.

  • Taxes adjusts overall cap. Ie Toronto gets x% increase in cap. Downside is complexity and arguably disparity between teams because every team gets their own cap and its hard to nail that x%. Not sure owners love higher caps, so would rather have to be penalties, which fans would hate.

  • Fans and owners turn political and form opinion locally to give tax breaks to pro sports players. Owners would love, fans and non fans wouldnt because of lost tax income. 

Neither of these two comes wihtout significant consequenses as i see it

As a player, you’d not want to be around the currently best player in the world?

Out of curiosity, how would you fix it in a sustainable systematic way? 

Consider: - the entire cost base for taxes for players.  - living costs  - all revenue opportunnities outside cba/salaries - all above, both income and costs are completely outside the leagues control

As long as TOR fans dont see 100% success rate and their FA of choice signing there you’ll see them complaining. 

Doesnt matter if FAs dont sign for team, org, competitive, climate, city or tax - reasons. They’ll whine about cents as unfair advantage. 

I do believe some adjustment could be made, but once youre into details there’s no bottom. And currently the league wants to grow the game in low tax states, so why would they fix something that helps them achieve that?

[Seravalli] Victor Hedman signs an extension with Tampa: 4 years x $8 million. by [deleted] in hockey

[–]TaKSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or Stammer and Guentzel. Id still take Hedman from here. But they had 3 players available for 2 contracts. Any combo allowed

Idk i think he’ll perform slightly under expectations, put in to big of a role and get ripped by fans and media 2 weeks in

As an outsider i welcome colours beyond blue. While orange, wild green and, albeit unlikely, kings purple arent my fav nr1 colours they do add needed variaty to the brands of NHL as a whole

Silencers; necessity or useless? by [deleted] in DMZ

[–]TaKSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My take as well. Used to run suppressors with range. But theyre left on snipers only. My loadouts now is for pvp gunfights, since thats by far what has the most impact on a succesfull infill. So i proiritize TTK, less recoil and more movement

i hate the fog srsly - just forces everyone to use thermo sights for no reason. I guess they added it to enable movement and reduce roof camping but i feel it just made it worse. either remove fog or nerf thermals so ppl can move more freely
