Thread: Sanderson Performance Bonus
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TkachukNorris79</b></div><div>Straight from this very website:

"Performance bonuses count against the salary cap; however, a team can exceed the salary cap due to performance bonuses by the maximum performance bonus cushion amount of 7.5 percent of the upper limit."

I'm not sure how Norris' LTIR factors in but I don't think Sanderson's performance bonuses factor in at all, and if they do Staios would be wise to just play the last 19 games with a trimmed roster as opposed to carrying over that $1M hit to next year.</div></div>

Thank you, I did not know about the 7.5% upper limit. But I believe how it works from what I read is since Norris is on LTIR, his cap hit will be used as part of that calculation. I am not sure if the team is allowed to say something like, if we had Norris on the roster they could trim the roster down to be well below the cap ceiling. I am just assuming the worst to not be caught off guard. I would be very happy if the Sens didn't have this carry over, because that would essentially allow them to burry Hamonic as a scratch all year unless they can trade him (99% doubt).

Thread: Pintosenko
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheeDjeeEem</b></div><div>couldn't reach longer term deal so I thought he was playing out this year to get bidding war going since OTT doesn't have much space next year</div></div>

Nah. He got suspended just before he was about to sign a bridge. He signed the current deal because he wants to get back to playing without forcing Sens to trade anyone.

Per actual insiders, they are already working on an extension.

Furthermore, reports were at the time, again from insiders, that Pinto was very much appreciative of how the Sens handled the situation. Couple that wth the GM and VPOHO praising him and his game, I sincerely doubt he gets moved unless it's a ridiculous overpay.

Finally, your comparison with Monahan is flawed. Leaving point totals aside (Pinto has barely played this season), Monahan is a UFA vs Pinto a young C with many years of team control.
