How VGK leverages tax-free millions to win free agency market

from Locked On Golden Knights - Daily Podcast On the Vegas Golden Knights · host Locked On Podcast Network

VGK players save millions due to Nevada being a income tax free state. The Golden Knights tax edge gives them an unfair advantage.  We talked about Macklin Celebrini's new contract of $18.8 million AAV.  He loses close to $3 million of his salary annually due to California's state income tax.   How will high-tax teams continue to compete.   We talk about VGK players who were in fights this past season.  The Golden Knights were involved in 20 fights but Jeremy Lauzon and now-departed Keegan Kolesar particpated in half of them.  And, we discuss whether the Golden Knights take on the personality of their coach Ryan Craig when it comes to physicality.    FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.
