I can say enough good things about the Canuck organization when it comes to reaching out to kids and families dealing with heartbreaking circumstances.

I can't imagine any player with an accountant and an agent would donate nothing. There are lots of tax write offs. I guess you would have to see their tax returns.

Popular Post Devron Posted November 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2021 Thought people said he was selfish and only worried about himself because of his play, Shame on you. Also he didn’t have to donate anything 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it; just not sure how much of that money will go to actually helping ? Anyways, good on EP ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4ZZY Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Was going to post the link, but glad someone else beat me to it. Shows you that Elias' heart is a good place. I hope he gets back on track. This is his team. How he goes, the team goes. If this year has shown anything, it's shown that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CanucksForever2 Posted December 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2021 I can't believe some of the comments here and they make me sick. This is something good. It doesn't matter how much Petey earns, $50k is a lot of money that can help many children. When was the last time anyone one of you donated? 9 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxVerstappen33 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 1 hour ago, tas said: without wanting to be dismissive of the donation, because it's still a positive thing, assuming he donated $50k canadian, that's a little over half of what he's paid for a single game. By the time taxes are paid, its almost half that. Then there's escrow, insurance, agent fees and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the very WORST of charities are usually 50% admin/salaries, 50% to helping. And CFKF is considered to be a good one. So at least $30k, if that makes you feel any better..

Not sure, what your point is: when you stated, if it [makes me feel better] - care to elaborate cause you seem to be insinuating something ? Like I said and to clairfy, it is: a tax receipt, good PR and the recipient gets 60% (as you figured, but still a good chunk going somewhere else) - so better than nothing. Good for EP and his generosity cause 50K is still a good chunk of change. Edited December 1, 2021 by ShawnAntoski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Luck Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 OMG. Petey donated 1.5 periods of a hockey game of salary and gets a tax break for doing it. Not like he earned it anyway. Probably feeling guilty lol. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week, instead of donating to a bar to watch a Canucks game, I stayed in and threw a 20 towards a small charity that was started by a friend of mine. She is a teacher and in her spare time she has started an after school boxing program for kids in Langley. People have donated cases of Gatorades, boxing equipment, a local supplement store has given them tons of protein bars, so it's all coming together slowly. Anyways I donate once every leap year it seems, and waste 100 times that amount on stupid wasteful things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You quite literally said: "not sure how much of that money will go to actually helping" So I answered your question, and since it's likely quite a large chunk of the $50k, said that I hope it makes you feel better (since your comments in this thread are suggesting you worry not very much of it is going to help people).

I'm thinking he's injured......or perhaps hoping he is with the thought that it will improve. Tough to think he's lazy after the short career we've seen so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
