Look Calgary, just retain on Markstrom. It’s what? Two years? Who cares if you get some good pieces and then you can just have Wolf come up and don’t have to worry about salary much anyway.

Matthew Lau: John Tavares the latest victim of Canada's self-defeating tax regimequote:The Canada Revenue Agency is chasing John Tavares for $8 million in taxes, including $1.2 million in interest, related to a US$15.3 million (C$21 million) signing bonus he received upon joining the Leafs in 2018 after the expiry of his contract with the New York Islanders. A tax treaty between Canada and the U.S. stipulates that “an inducement to sign an agreement relating to the performance of the services of an athlete” is different from “income from employment” and should not be taxed at more than 15 per cent, but the CRA considers the signing bonus salaried income and is ordering a tax rate of more than 38 per cent. Thus the $8 million legal scrap between the Leafs captain and the tax agency. Pay your loving taxes John. lol at calling him a victim. Oh no 38% abloobloo I hope every Canadian player trying to avoid taxes with massive signing bonuses gets wrecked.

Koopa Kid posted:Performance bonus =/= signing bonus, seems pretty cut and dry It's intended to cover signing bonuses too. The reason they're going after him is that his signing bonus isn't an incentive, it's just the entire salary though. Literally 90% of his contract is paid out as the bonuses. The NHL may allow that for cap manipulation, but someone at the CRA sees what's really going on there.

Kind of anticlimactic tbh

He essentially wants the CRA to be bound by the semantics of the NHL CBA and lol good luck with that John. Edit: The reason he's only fighting the year 1 assessment is because for all further years it's absolutely just salary and his lawyers/accountants know they have no case there. It's not a signing bonus if it's paid annually. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Feb 14, 2024 |

On the whole wheel of justice thing, has there ever been talk of going to a points system? Australia’s main two contact sports (AFL and Rugby League) both had similar levels of mystery/unpredictability for suspensions, a while back they changed to a points system where any time a player is reported the offence is graded on a bunch of scales, ie you earn 3 points for an intentional action, one point for a negligent one; another scale for severity of incident and then an extra point for a head (or nuts) shot. Ie a change is graded as an intentional medium impact head shot for say 6 points, a careless medium impact head shot is 4. You can clearly see why the tribunal suspended one guy for more than the other. Ofcourse there is still plenty to argue about, what is the line between severe and high impact, was something intentional or not. However this is mostly avoided as while the player can dispute it, they get a discount for a ‘early guilty plea’. Which means that unless there is a big difference in opinion re the charge, the player normally accepts. I think both codes here have had more of a focus of removing violence (commerical investment and youth player numbers) than the NHL does - but it has certainly removed some of the news cycle focus from punches and head shots.

Following up but Phil landed in Vancouver today with his sticks and Knights hockey bag. Plan is for him to train in Abbotsford and if things go alright to sign him. Let’s do it

WeaponX posted:Leafs really can’t help but make themselves look like the most desperate, phoniest tough guy, insecure franchise huh? It's been a lot of fun watching the Leaf players waxing about how they're showing toughness and are a hard-nosed team. Does any player see that Reilly play and think, "gee I really shouldn't gently caress with them!" Now Leafs are without their #1 D for 5 games, while only 4 pts ahead of a Devils team that could very well have Markstrom joining them sooner than later.
