Thread: Imagine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bruins1054_gmb</b></div><div>They're both eligible for 35+ contracts, which means they could sign for a smaller cap hit with incentive money in performance bonuses that wouldn't count against the cap until next season. So, it isn't ridiculous.</div></div>

What is a Performance Bonus?
A Performance Bonus can be given to a player in addition to their salary. Performance bonuses are only paid to the player if they meet the requirements as defined by the bonus. 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. Not all players are eligible for Performance Bonuses, and to receive a bonus within their contract, a player must meet one of the following criteria:
1.The player is on an entry-level contract.
2.The player has signed a one-year contract and is over 35 years old.
3.The player has signed a one-year contract after returning from a long-term injury (has played 400 or more games, and spent 100 or more days on the Injured Reserve in the last year of their most recent contract).


Bergeron signing for 2 years wouldn't be eligible as per point #2.
Contract has to be 1 year for it to be eligible.

Thread: Retool and Tank
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habitantlecolon</b></div><div>They shouldn't give their best prospect over a gamble !! Trade Norlinder or Tuch okay but never ever think about trading our next mountain man Ghule or a new Suzuki in Farell !</div></div>

Until they make the NHL and produce, Guhle and Farrell are also gambles.
What if Guhle tops as a 5th dman and Farrell never makes the team?
Not saying this is what is going to happen but you never know with prospects.
You have the opportunity to get the 2nd overall pick for a mid/late 1st round prospect + a 4th round prospect, you think about it.

Remember when Reway was producing in the Q and when he dominated the U20 in Mtl at an 18yo?
Some people were calling him a sure thing and a steal as a 4th round pick.

Remember when some called Rivet, Souray and I can't even remember who was the other one the next "big 3", comparing them to Savard, Robinson and Lapointe?

Guhle and Farrell sure look good now but, until they do it in the NHL, they are still gambles.
