Travis Yost's recent piece got me thinking. Taking a look at Nylander comparables (Forsberg, Ehlers, Pastrnak), only Pastrnak recieved any signing bonuses.

If im Dubas/Pridham/Gilman do i not try to leverage heavy duty pre-lockout signing bonuses to save on AAV?

I don't know specifics on signing bonus rules, but something like a six year deal, where the maximum allowable signing bonuses are stuffed into the first 3 years.

Makes sense for both in some ways. Thoughts?
