Thread: Edmonton Oilers signed Corey Perry (1 Year / $1,100,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>It hasn't happened before cause most players earn up to their bonus and the teams normally don't see value in moving them.
If Brown, who to his credit has looked good along side Holloway and Mcleod the last 2 games, was playing to even a ~2.5 Mill player no team would trade him away given his current contract structure.

Guess we'll see what happens, I don't expect Holland to move him though.</div></div>

Hey, we can finally put an end to the question. In this 32 thoughts podcast Elliot Friedman gets asked the exact question of if earned bonuses can be traded with the player. His answer is pretty definitive: no you can't!

Thread: Edmonton Oilers signed Corey Perry (1 Year / $1,100,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>That's the actual dollar amount though, like what Brown puts into his pocket.
The cap hit is different based on what I've found and it states that it is a part of their contract which is moved on trades.

Not to argue, more so am genuinely curious where it's stated that bonus cap stays with the original signing team.</div></div>

I get your point, I can't find the exact rule either. I think the proof is that it's never happened before, contracts with bonuses have been traded before and the new team has never had to take the bonus cap hit the next season.

And if it was possible, I think every possible news article on the oilers would be suggesting we trade his bonuses away

Thread: A burden shared is a burden halved
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>More or less than the alternatives?

Multiple 1sts to move Campbell (assuming they can even find a partner)
Keep the 1st and lose valuable cap space with a buyout
Meet in the middle and trade one 1st for partial relief

Obviously nobody <em>wants</em> to pay to dump cap.
Once you're in this situation though, you have to do what it takes to prevent it from handicapping the team.</div></div>

In this scenario the Oiler are paying a 1st and a good young player to only save an additional 650k next year, 1.15 million the next, and 1.3 million the next. In my opinion, not a single team values that much savings at the cost of a 1st and a young player, even the teams that are contending

Thread: ekblad
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>nice! i mean you do dump kulak in the ekblad trade so there *is* a cap dump here

tbh i would love to see edmonton do that though. run a 22 man roster with 9 AHL players on it? would make things easier for van to wint the division</div></div>

9 AHL players? Did you even open up the ACGM? It's virtually the exact same roster that the Oilers are icing right now (except swapping Kulak for Ekblad), you know, the one that's on a 8 game win streak and has the best record in the NHL over the last 25 games. The only AHL call ups were Rodrigue (who has the 2nd highest sv% of any AHL goalie), and Broberg (who is playing pretty well right now).

Now I'm not saying the Oilers should trade for Ekblad, they shouldn't, and he won't be availabe anyways. But It's okay to admit you weren't aware of Edmonton's cap situation!
