Seems like old news.

 

[LeafFever]

Better than fake news.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Now we can afford to keep JVR.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! and yes I get you are joking.

 

[MyBudJT]

Hopefully we can remain a couple mil under the cap next season so that we have no ELC carryover into 2019/2010.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! and yes I get you are joking.

I'm only partly kidding actually. I know it's still unlikely due to the inevitable cap crunch we'll face, but maybe this will increase the chances of management at least considering making JVR a fair offer.

And yes, I know I'm in the minority on this one.

Would be hilarious if he ripped off 4 tonight, 2 and 2 in the final two games, and finished tied for the top ten.

Hate to "ruin" the mood but the article says Thews can also get his Schedule B bonus if he's top 10 among forwards in goals per game with a minimum of 42 games played. Currently Thews sits tied for 5th in goals per game and he's played 59 games.

Yeah, lets not call him Thews.

Thews

[Tall Morty]

Cmon, Thews from the 6? Not a thing?

Dear god, please no.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Yeah, lets not call him Thews.

It's better than calling him Big Papi.

 

[MattySnipes]

Cmon, Thews from the 6? Not a thing?

Yeah please, Thews

The following are perfectly fine to address the big, hulking C:

1. Matthews or Auston
2. Matty or Matts
3. AM34
4. Mr. Matthews

 

[2 Slick]

Yeah, no, I'm never callimg him, "Thews".... ever.... ever.

Goals per game is not a Schedule B criteria. Points per game is (top 10) but he is not in any danger of cracking that.

10th in pts/game is currently 1.12

Matthews sits 34th in ppg at .97

[Buster impression] I didn't even know we were calling him Big Papi.

Some people are, supposedly it's his nickname. You'll see it used when he scores goals on occasions. It's one of the worst nicknames imo.

 

[Gallagbi]

The goals per game noted in the article looks like a typo.

Bonus criteria is listed in the CBA if anyone is interested - Exhibit 5

Lol that's right. I believe it, how do I put this politically....makes Caucasians uncomfortable.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Lol that's right. I believe it, how do I put this politically....makes Caucasians uncomfortable.

You're not wrong, the term is a lot more sexualized in Caucasian culture. It's also not a common hockey nickname because of it. I can't think of any hockey player that was known as big daddy but I know it's more acceptable in sports like baseball.

I mean it's a nickname I guess but it's still very weird to call a hockey player big daddy at this point and time.

As @White Shadow mentioned regarding Schedule B bonuses, Auston is quite a ways away from hitting the Top 10 mark.

Regarding Schedule B bonuses:

Two types of bonuses covered under type B:

1. The first type are paid by the league, not the team, and they do not ever count against the cap. They are paid out to any player on an ELC who hits one of the following:

• The first is for finishing in the top few in voting for or winning any of the NHL trophies given out at the NHL Awards.
• The second is for finishing in the league top ten in simple counting stats for your position—goals, assists, points, ice time, goals against average, save percentage or wins.

2. The second type of B bonuses are given for any of the same set of criteria, with a few minor differences in which trophies are included, but they are paid by the team, and the amounts for each bonus are negotiated by the team and the player's agent. They do count against the cap.

The total amount a player can receive in team-paid type B bonuses is $2 million.
