Sharpshooter Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I read somewhere (I know not helpful), that even though he is from New Jersey, he's a Flyers fan. So, he probably hates those teams anyway, especially the Devils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 This really has to be the strangest FA signing in memory. I don’t rememeber anything weirder. Maybe the last situation with CBJ and bob/panarin just peacing, but I don’t think anyone has this on their bingo card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Nazem Kadri to Seattle next. Actually, that still wouldn't be as surprising as this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 How pissed must Calgary fans be right now? Not sure how short sighted this is from Gaudreau. Didn't cash out. Didn't sign to win. Didn't get closer to home. I don't understand this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Honestly, that tweet gave me a half-chub. To see the top free agent in three years give the double bird to the Islanders (AGAIN) and the Devils and go sign with Columbus is *chefs kiss* I'd imagine they try to off Nyquist/Voracek to bring back Bemstrom and Laine and call it an offseason. Really...really well done for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Residents of Columbus pay a flat city income tax of 2.50% on earned income, in addition to the Ohio income tax and the Federal income tax. Nonresidents who work in Columbus also pay a local income tax of 2.50%, the same as the local income tax paid by residents. https://www.tax-rates.org/ohio/columbus-income-tax#:~:text=Residents of Columbus pay a flat city income,as the local income tax paid by residents.

Ah, makes sense. Still looks like they have a lower state tax compared to a lot of other states at least in the US. I was always under the impression Canada got killed tax wise and that hindered part of their chances to sign athletes here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they can't afford Laine. $3.1mil in cap space for Laine and Bernstrom. Probably try to move Nyquist and/or Bjorkstrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod16 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 TSN says he left money on the table to get out of Calgary. Aren't "federal" taxes high in Canada? Perhaps he just wanted out of Western Canada. Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver get little attention in the American sports media. https://www.tsn.ca/video/after-gaudreau-left-money-on-the-table-to-leave-where-does-calgary-go-from-here~2483913 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
