Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 5323224, member: 974"] Read an article (that I can't refind) that the recent dominance of Florida NHL teams is heavily influenced by the tax advantages. This results in teams and players making more money. It is a significant sum and makes Florida more attractive to free agents to play there and for players to want to stay. Not in the article but it got me thinking that the Whalers probably have saved a ton on corporate taxes since their move to North Carolina. And once again their players have some financial advantages over their northern competitors. It's not the be all, end all. But any competitive advantage teams can gain is meaningful. And money talks.
