Taxes
At the salary negotiations with free agents the amount of state taxes is also an aspect for the players in real live. In one state the income tax is just over zero percent in other states the look on the payroll after income tax sometimes causes abdominal pain. That means if for one player the maximum of the net income at maybe his last contract as free agent is most important for his decision, franchises in states with high income taxes have to increase the gross offer accordingly. Consumption taxes could also have an influence for the decision of players. If the live spot of the player outside the NHL season is in a state with low consumption taxes the effect above plays maybe a less important role. Taxes could also have an effect for net revenues, when investing in new facilities and so on.
