$750k/$75k per the article. His QO would have been $771,750. Them players really don't like signing to the AHL minimum, but let's see if there is minimun guaranteed salary to the tune of $100k or something.
his previous ahl salary was 70k, and ahl minimum is actually 52k. wouldn't surprise me if he just took took a $21,750 nhl paycut to get a $5k ahl raise, which makes sense given he's highly unlikely to see nhl time.

Yes, the point I was poorly trying to make was that non-NHL players are not into QOs, because they tend to get better AHL minimum salary in a negotiated SPC.

Obviously I completely failed to notice, that for a player who is not signing his first SPC, the AHL salary needs to be at least the previous year's AHL salary:

"if a Player is eligible to receive a Two-Way Qualifying Offer, the Paragraph 1 Minor League Salary component shall not be less than the higher of the Player's prior year's Paragraph 1 Minor League Salary, if any, or the minimum Minor League salary. "

So news to me, the AHL salary is not such a deterrent after all, if the player has already gotten to set his AHL salary level.

I hope Smallman can get one good injury free season to prove himself. He is good and plays a 200 foot game while providing good depth scoring. Unfortunately he is either injured or recovering all the time.

Was this guy ever signed to his ELC? I remember the name when he was drafted but that was what, 2014? Never heard much from him since.

Either way welcome back I guess.
