Does Iloka stay?
Or does Miami take both of them or Hue Jackson snake them?
My bet is they both go to Miami for no income tax and better weather.
Also: Vance Joseph
With Suh, can Miami even afford veteran minimum for the other defensive guys?

Mostly unrelated, but I read an interesting article a few years ago on the financial struggles of the NHL. The exchange rate and taxes were putting the Canadian teams in trouble. Their fans couldn't afford the seat prices to offset the financial penalty players took on by playing in Canada. As a result, top free agents wouldn't go there.
