Did you see my really cool watch in the other thread? !!

 

It's really cool! I put a new band on it and have been wearing it out and about. 

I have a fitbit. I just track my exercise these days.

Yeah you are going to have to be more specific because I am not seeing what you are seeing as being blatantly obvious. I am sure a few players see the opportunity to make a little more money and that fine. Whether they make 10 million or a 11 million? Not sure if they are concerned that much as they want to be on a winning team. Everyone has an opinion on it though and I am not seeing it. 

You have a good evening as well.

f**k sakes lol. You're telling me if you had the choice to pay 16% less taxes on your 5,000,000 dollar salary you wouldn't jump on it? REALLY?

That's great ~ how much exercise do you get each day or calories burned?

 

I like to take evening walks on weekdays and nature walks including walks near the water on weekends.

My knee is giving me issues. I'm only at 5 km a day. I want to get back to 7-8. I'm the opposite of bling or fashion.

Exchange rate is about 27%, right? Getting paid in US funds, while living in Canada, adds 27% to the money when converted. Guys get more up here, after the conversion.

Contracts are negotiated and paid in USD.

 

Wait... you think that our money that is worth less gets us more? Bro, no..

Newsflash! We don't make millions of dollars or are professional athletes either. 

[Ghostsof1915]

Too bad Dallas waited until Game 4 to get into the game.

[Ghostsof1915]

I'd tick off the NHLPA and sign sweetheart deals in Vancouver.

Not everyone is governed by money.

I don't know anyone who wouldn't jump ship to take home that much more of your income. Asinine to think otherwise.

Have you considered cycling? Keeps the knees fluid and arthritis at bay without the impact.

Add 27% to your check. Or are you refusing that extra money? It’s a huge advantage.

Add 27% and live up here.

Haha. I hope you have an accountant.

Yes I have. Everyone in my family has knee issues. I used to cycle every single day. Probably a good habit to get back into.

It seems its hiker's knee. Really only bothers me down hills or down stairs. Or just my old bones.

Do you have specific examples? You may not but I think many aren't totally driven by the almighty dollar.

The cap doesn't go up 27%? Teams can't fit as many star players. Teams in high tax states/provinces can't match.
