Timo Meier (27, New Jersey, contract until 2031)

Quickly in suit: Timo Meier, striker of the New Jersey Devils.

At his current salary of $12 million, power forward Timo Meier is at the top of the Swiss NHL rentals. He receives six million as salary and six as signing bonus. Sounds overwhelming, but it also affects the tax bill: according to CapFriendly’s website, Meier will have to pay $5,885,657, a tax rate of 49.05 percent.

Roman Josi (33, Nashville, contract until 2028)

Nashville captain Roman Josi has a good laugh: Tennessee is a tax haven.

Four million as a signing bonus, five as a salary. It’s a good thing for Josi that Tennessee (39.03 percent) is a paradise when it comes to taxes: Josi is left with $5,405,298.

Kevin Fiala (27, Los Angeles, contract until 2029)

Kevin Fiala: The 2018 silver hero makes his living with the LA Kings. California is considered a problem area from a tax perspective.

Fiala is due $8,125,000 million this season, including $3,250,000 as a signing bonus. The crux: no other American state collects money like California: Fiala has to pay 51.99 percent, leaving $3,900,907 in the account.

Nico Hischier (24, New Jersey, contract until 2027)

Nico Hischier: The Valais resident also looks good at the NHL awards ceremony.

The Devils captain earns $7,750,000 this season, leaving just under four million after taxes (48.51 percent).

Jonas Siegenthaler (26, New Jersey, contract until 2028)

Seated: The suits of Jonas Siegenthaler (front) and Nico Hischier.

$2,750,000 salary, $1,500,000 signing bonus. Of the $4,250,000, the Zurich resident has about $2,240,000 left.

Nino Niederreiter (31, Winnipeg, contract until 2024)

As a visitor to the F1 paddock: Nino Niederreiter.

Canada is not a tax haven: Niederreiter has to hand in almost 50 percent of his salary (4,000,000), leaving him with 2,004,082 (US) dollars.

Philipp Kurashev (23, Chicago, contract until 2025)

Blackhawks forward Philip Kuraschew.

The striker received $2,250,000, leaving the account with approximately $1,270,000 after taxes.

Pius Suter (27, Vancouver, contract until 2025)

Smart forward: Pius Suter is new to the Vancouver Canucks.

The smart center forward keeps 828,000 of the 1,600,000 dollars.

Janis Moser (23, Arizona, contract until 2024)

Janis Moser: His contract in Arizona expires at the end of the season.

In the final year of his entry-level contract (925,000), Moser earned approximately $540,000 after taxes. If he had to go to the AHL (two-way contract), it would still be 80,000.

Akira Schmid (23, New Jersey, contract until 2024)

Goalkeeper Akira Schmid: will his contract with New Jersey be extended?

The entry-level contract pays the goalie $867,500, with approximately $490,000 remaining in the account. In the AHL, Schmid would make $70,000.
