NHL insider David Pagnotta tweeted the details of Oettinger's contract.

"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."

Additionally, Dallas has a lower cost of living compared to New York.

Insider Aaron Ward replied to Pagnotta's tax breakdown:

"Now do cost of living in NYC versus Dallas, Texas which will mean he keeps SO MUCH MORE of that post tax income. The math and decision is obvious."

Pagnotta added:

"Another mega factor, for sure. Almost a no-brainer for Oettinger."
