On Deferred Compensation
Bob McKenzie: “One thing to regulate immediately is whether or not some NHL groups construction offers with “deferred compensation.” I’ve heard there’s been extra much more discuss of it this 12 months.
It’s a authorized (throughout the NHL CBA) maneuver that can be utilized ostensibly to assist a participant with tax concerns, however the too-complicated-for-me-calculation rationalization is that it may possibly additionally work to cut back the AAV.
It’s finished rather a lot in baseball apparently (Ohtani!).
A participant in a excessive tax jurisdiction, for instance, might defer important quantities of cash past the taking part in time period of the contract and if, after he stops taking part in, he strikes to a lower-tax jurisdiction, there are important tax financial savings on the deferred monies.
It was finished a few years in the past when Shane Doan (now working for TOR) was re-signing with ARI when present TOR GM Brad Treliving was AGM with the Coyotes. The circumstances again then, IIRC, had been principally ARI not desirous to pay out money within the brief time period (go determine).
As I perceive it, there’s a present-day {dollars} calculation that’s finished on the deferred cash and that’s the place, below the suitable set of circumstances, it might have an affect on the AAV.
Anyway, as I stated, one thing to regulate.
They stated there can be no math!!”
