Bust.

 

[RABBIT]

Dude will be worth triple that by month 3

 

[Cor]

3 x 3.775M for a guy with no NHL experience? Buffalo continues to be mismanaged.

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

But he had options!!! Lol

 

[Pens x]

It will sure be a long 3 years with that roster.

Good luck, kid

 

[The Abusement Park]

Dang. Was really hoping we could swoop in there and get him signed

He'll be worth 2.7 AAV halfway through the season? That actually sounds extremely underwhelming.

 

[Schenn]

Kid will look to get paid after year 3. Should have locked him up for 8 years to keep his future cap hit low.

Sarcasm

Entry level contracts are set in stone. The only thing you can even negotiate is the different bonuses.

That $3M is what the max is, if he hits every single bonus.

Edit - yes, I now realize he was joking. What can I say? Us Buffalo fans can be a bit over-sensitive at times (can you blame us? lol)

 

[The Macho King]

Why only three years? Buffalo trying to run him out of town. /s

You obviously don’t know what your talking about

For those who don’t seem to realize how ELCs work -

NHL Entry Level Contracts (ELC) – A Quick Primer
NHL Entry Level Contracts have the following components:

• Maximum Salary $925,000
• Signing Bonus: Limited to 10% of maximum salary or $92,500 (included in salary)
• Type A Bonus: Maximum $850,000 ($212,500 per individual bonus) for such performance based qualifiers such as ice time, goals, plus/minus
• Type B Bonus: Maximum $2,000,000 for league performance awards (example: top 5 post-season awards) per season
• Theoretically, a player could earn total compensation of $3,775,000

Fairly certain ELC's can't be more than three years, though I could be wrong.

He was joking.

ELC are always 3 years max.

Oops. lol

It’s hard to tell on here sometimes.

I could tell The Macho Man was joking. But missed that one.

 

[Cor]

In 3 years, there will probably be an NHL team in Sweden, so enjoy it while it lasts!

 

[Tavares to Marner]

He's coming home to Toronto

 

[Iceman]

So what does he need to do for the bonuses?

 

[Newsworthy]

I think this move makes sense for Buffalo

 

[Djp]

Was this by a Canadian team we would have it be a sticky at the top for 24 hrs....like how Matthews was....

 

[Der Jaeger]

So what does he need to do for the bonuses?

Play hockey.
