The math isn’t simple, given the factors (jock tax, state income tax vs none, place of residence, NA/EUR, etc.), but simplifying things per

@CP_Athlete calculator, as an example: $8.25M in DAL sees someone takeaway ~$5.22M after taxes. $12M in NYC leads to ~$5.29M after taxes.

This extension highlights the Stars’ commitment to building around their young core and securing one of the league’s premier goaltenders for the long term.
