Confirmed with Link: Puljujärvi signed 3 year ELC

[McFlyingV]

I don't think Drai got that much, as I seem to remember someone saying Dubois got the highest bonus structure ever for a 3rd overall pick. Either way it's pretty unlikely that Pulju hits all his bonuses, and if he does I sure as hell won't be complaining since that'll mean he's had an unbelievable rookie season.

LD got 25k less than Puljujarvi. For Pulju to hit all his bonuses he'd have to probably either finish top 10 in ppg in the league, win the Calder, be top 5 in voting for a major award, or be named a 1st/2nd team allstar. We all know Oilers can't win the Calder so I'm sure we'll be fine

Nice jinx.

It's 25k more in bonuses than Drai got. Although this is a 3rd overall vs 4th overall we're comparing. Puljujarvi got ~200k more than other recent 4th overall picks like Bennett, Jones and Reinhart, and Marner's contract with bonuses comes in at under 2. Which is spectacular for the Leafs.

In the grand scheme of things the 200k likely wont make any difference, but the Oilers did definitely pay a bit more than the average 4th overall pick gets. Although I suppose an argument could be made that Puljujarvi is better than the average 4th overall pick. But we wont really know that for a few years.

There is no chance with the current roster that the bonuses will result in any cap carryover next year. For that to happen, all of Drasiatl, Puljujarvi, McDavid, Reinhart and Nurse would have to have terrific seasons. In particular the two defensemen would have to be playing top pairing type minutes and have 40+ point season. However, if the Oilers do make a deal there is a chance that bonuses might impact some player decisions. Most likely this would be Reinhart that is impacted.

Currently those players carry $11.025M in bonuses with the cushion allowing a max of $5.475M. So if all of those guys were on the opening roster (which is quite unlikely), they would add $5.5M in hard cap to the total.

I was surprised that Caggiulla only had $425K in performance bonuses.

Nice jinx.

Haha I'd be ecstatic if he won the Calder. We have more than enough cap space currently to fit in bonuses without any worry of overage barring some kind of miracle leaps in development from almost all of our bonus ELC players.

If he won the Calder, we'd probably make the playoffs too

 

[McShogun99]

He'll get the minimum 9 games but he'll be here all season. Laine and Poolparty would be in the conversation for 1st OA in a lot of drafts.

 

[MessierII]

Can't wait to see more of this kid.

 

[SullivanT]

reminds me of this lol

What does Olli Jokinen have to do with this thread?

that would be insane, but we would have a beast of a team lol.

Need a new, far better nickname for the kid. Pool Party is genuinely stupid.

Yeah I concur Pool Party is terrible.

 

[MoneyGuy]

I like Pull Your RV but don't think it's a nickname. A proper nickname will develop. Give it time and settle down.

I'm loving Lou in Toronto pulling his ******** no bonus crap with the 1st overall pick. What a gong show
