3 of the 4 remaining teams in the Stanley cup playoffs have an advantage

The Stanley Cup is one of the hardest trophies to win in all of sports, and with the odd final 4 remaining in the playoffs this year, it begs the question, do some teams have an advantage? The answer to that question is yes.

World Financial Report: 3 of the 4 teams left have 0 state tax. Not a coincidence, such a clear advantage to be able to pay guys 20% less against the cap.

Being able to pay players without any state tax coming off their pay cheques or contract means even if you make she same amount of money as others, the contract is more valuable because you actually get the dollar amount you agreed to.

It only makes sense that in Gary Bettman's NHL, there are some teams with more of an advantage than others. Do you think this is fair? I know I don't
