beni Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 offer FLA a 5th for Luongo. Or is that a bit too generous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a $1,000,000 USD contract this would leave $77,625 CAD extra when taking foreign exchange into account. This does not take into account any taxes Miller would potentially pay on world income. If you don't want $77,625 more CAD I'll take it off your hands. Feel free to disagree but the top marginal US federal rate is 39.6% , if the player has investment income there's an additional 3.8% on that, and the top marginal rate in California is 13.3% ( source 540 California tax guide 2016) The California rate includes a 1% mental health tax Sales taxes in Cali range from 7.5% to 8.75% compared to 7% in BC. A single Canadian resident pays $445,244 on $1m while a Californian pays $465,504. So as wages increase the tax disparity also increases. Don't even get me started on what it costs for medical in the US So no, you don't have to take $77,000 off my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a big Lu supporter. But that was the joke after game 4, I was correcting the poster who said he didn't let in 8 goals in game 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarM Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 For those of you that were not around for the "Cloutier days" or anytime we didn't have McLean, Lui or Miller, know what its like to have a team with no goaltending. I am not prepared to take a "gamble" on a goalie tandem that may or may not do well together. We had a steady tandem last year and it makes things very difficult when your goalies are letting everything in and you can't get anything going. Seen so many time the WCE get us the lead and some Siv goalie blow it for us. My preference would be to sign Miller for another year or two until Markstrom can take the lead from him and when we can bring in Demko. Markstrom played OK last year but I wouldn't say he played Miller out of a job just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Good he would have won us too many games this year lol. Looks like we need a backup. Call Dallas and offer our 7th rounder for Niemi and a 2nd rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was taken off track and asked to play outside his comfort zone and away from his strengths. Like asking Goldobin to take over Sutter's role I think he'd be just fine again as a backup if we can get him playing back in his comfort zone and to his strengths again. Nobody's expecting him to turn in to Brodeur. I'd prefer that he could just, I dunno... stop pucks? Quote As for those 'options', as those tweets you posted mentioned, when the music stops, we might be left without a chair in the game of musical goalies. I'm not sure he'd be a worse option than anyone else who might still be available after most of the 'better' guys go to other teams. The Lack chair will be there, long after the band has packed up and gone home. There are plenty of options out there, and doubtful Canucks will drag their feet because this regime has always openly placed a high priority on having solid goaltending. The Miller situation will be resolved by the weekend. Quote I'd rather keep Bachman in Utica to mentor/tandem with Demko and as available depth thanks. That's one option, but Bachman here and handing the Comet reigns to Demko is another. Easy to sign AHL backups. Depends on how well they think he's advanced and such, but they certainly won't abandon him with a scrub.

Or will players pay more? I heard Stamkos & Luongo pay way less tax there than they would in Toronto or Van As for medical... I think all NHL teams will cover full medical expenses for players and their immediate family, no? 1 hour ago, Hutton Wink said: Would think that means done deal.

I remember when I first started following this team and we had the goalie graveyard... I can confidently call Vancouver the Mecca of Goaltending. Luongo... speaks for itself Cory... speaks for itself Eddie... meh, was pretty good and did dethrone Lui kinda... we'll see how he pans out in Calgary Miller... stellar. Marky / Nilsson / Demko / Dipietro... to be seen. Bachman is also underrated IMO. Played well for us last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
