Does anyone know the criterias of performance bonuses?
Where did you get that from? All bonus packages aren't created equal.. so you can't just take another ELC's bonus package. That would represent the 'easiest' bonus package possible, which may be what he got but not necessarily.
Type A bonuses cap at 850k.
The categories for a forward are:
TOI (total or per game)- must be top 6 on team and play 42 games
Goals- must score at least 20
Assists- must score at least 35
Points- must score at least 60
PPG- must be at least 0.73 over 42 GP
+/- must be top 3 on team over 42 GP
NHL all-rookie team
NHL all-star participant
NHL all-star game MVP
There's a maximum of 212.5k per category. In each category, it's up to the team/player to negotiate where the bonuses are. For instance, you can give all 212.5k to a player when they hit 20 goals.. or you can give 112.5k for 20 goals and 10k a goal after that until 30 goals. You can also give all 212.5k for 100 goals or give no goal performance bonuses at all.. you get the point. It's like that for each category so there's a fair bit of negotiation to do as the player stands to gain much more if there are easier limits.
You'll notice that adds up to way more than 850k.. but it's capped there so a player can only earn (and get a cap charge) of up to 850k even if they hit more bonuses.
Type B bonuses cap at 2M. Same deal here where the club can negotiate how much/where to put the money.
These are much harder to hit and are all for finishing top 10 in one of statistical categories (TOI, G, A, P, etc.) or winning/finishing high in the voting for specific league trophies. Of note, the Calder isn't eligible for bonuses.
For most rookies, that means they can earn another 850k depending how well they play and where their bonuses are distributed.. but the Type B bonuses are fairly hard to hit for anyone. All ELCs automatically get the type B bonuses.. the type A bonuses are up to negotiation, those are the ones that Lou used to never give out.
