WHY IS EVERYONE SIGNING WITH VEGAS & FLORIDA?



Marner is heading to Vegas & Bennett, Marchand and Ekblad are staying in Florida. DZ, Luca and Poc discuss why the Vegas Golden Knights and the Florida Panthers keep signing everybody.

  1. NFL, NBA and MLB salaries all have no state income tax teams where players can be making up to 5x as much as hockey players and thus the impact of the no state tax would be 5x as large and no one talks about it or uses it as an excuse as to why their franchise is poorly run.

  2. Oppurtunity to win is the most inticing factor for most players. The made good money already. Even there low salary isnt low….its more than enough to live well and save and retire well

  3. State income tax has no bearing here—let’s put that argument to rest. The Panthers have to share the South Florida market with the Dolphins, Heat, and Marlins. Meanwhile, none of the Canadian teams are competing with NFL stars for endorsement deals, which gives all Canadian teams a clear advantage. Enough with the nonsense.

  4. Florida was bad for a long ass time so I'm happy they finally getting some sucess and recognition. Fuck Vegas though lmao

  5. I’m a Blackhawks fan of 40 years and the “state tax” argument is dumb AF. It’s incredibly corny!

    The property taxes in Florida are very high which everyone conveniently leaves out!

    Every team/city in the history of our solar system has pros and cons!

    In 2010s EVERY team that won🏆 had state income tax! Now ppl crying bc Florida/Vegas teams are hot?!?🙄

    Zito has had a 2020s masterclass with nearly every move having nothing to do with no state income tax!

    Those teams ownership/FO deserve flowers, but instead salty fans (majority Leafs and Oilers fans I’ve noticed) cry about income taxes?!? GTFOH!
