The Stanley Cup finals echo last year's narrative with the Oilers, led by Connor McDavid, returning to face the Florida Panthers. Both the Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning exemplify strong teams with scoring depth and grit, but their success is also influenced by Florida's absence of an income tax, attracting free agents. This financial advantage, corroborated by Panthers’ GM Julien BriseBois, underscores how location can impact team competitiveness in the NHL, especially as teams look to build winning rosters year after year.
The Florida Panthers' remarkable journey to the Stanley Cup finals showcases how their unique financial advantages, especially the absence of an income tax, attract top talent.
