I believe that is called the Quebec Tax. I'm sure if Quebec City ever gets a team, they will not allow english speakers and only scout France for import players. 😏

It sounds like its a 100% family thing. and he had been commuting back and forth most of the time. Holland to SEA and Yzerman to DET. Win-win!

I won't try to excuse the other ones. But the Hoffman trade was a gun to his head due to the legal battle and whatever BS was happening behind the scenes. Agreed it wasn't great. but he had no choice.

Here's more fuel for the fire! https://www.tsn.ca/melnyk-senators-roster-overhaul-imminent-1.1170964

Assuming that statement is 100% truth, that's got to be tough.

Could always create a slack account for general use and banter. I assume most people have it at work these days....

Solid idea. and discord is great!

great contract

yeah. always going to be a few contracts that don't work in the fantasy world. Perfect example - Price means the world to the Habs, yet we all agree he sucks. (just trolling you Vegeta)

Good haul for sure. More surprised they didn’t try to add a player who can play now. But maybe they’ll flip picks for that.

Marner Tavares Hyman Nylander Matthews Marleau solid two lines. A dman and a good year from Anderson and these guys will be contenders.

When talking salaries and taxes by state, don’t forget to consider fx rates. 11M USD = 14M CAD and that huge bonus for first couple of years will be close to 20M CAD.

every time i get hyped about July 1, it's a relative snooze fest.....

Sounds like this would be viewed as cap circumvention. Definitely creative though.

is that even legal?

What does Jawless think? lol. I live in Ottawa and thankfully am not a Sens a fan. Karlsson is gone. I think they want to do it this weekend so that they can start the healing process within the city. Fan base won't be happy with news in a week about lack of signing 8 year max deal (cause I doubt that's what is offered) and then Sens have no choice but to move him over summer. Even if you win lottery next year. 81.7% chance you don't get the #1 pick. I guess it depends on how good #2,#3,#4 are next year..... Best thing for everyone: trade karlsson and hit the reset button

He didn't do anything bad though!

I think you'll see him banned. But for how long? I dunno. north american sports fans tend to forget quickly when athletes do bad things (if he actually did something).

No state taxes in Florida. So technically, Hoffman is now making more money.

lol. Can't wait to add Tavares to my team!

Ottawa news reporting that Dorion is going to meet with Karlsson now. Guessing he'll propose his July 1 offer and see if there's a chance he stays. if not, he'll be moving this weekend and the 4th overall will go to Avs.

what? I was slightly happy as a hoffman owner.

From what i understand, it can happen on the trade floor.

And Hoffman is gone. From Sens twitter account TRADE: The #Sens have acquired forward Mikkel Boedker, defenceman Julius Bergman and a sixth-round choice in the 2020 NHL Draft from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Mike Hoffman, Cody Donaghy and Ottawa’s fifth-round pick in 2020
