carry-over bonus penalty?

[h X c Chris]

What exactly is that? Chicago has one listed for $4,190,000.

they did something wrong with their rfa's last year or something. yea, they really put it all in to last year to win a cup.

Bonuses paid to players through their contracts don't count against the cap for the year they are paid, they count against the following years cap, aka carry-over bonus penalty. Kane and Toews drew HUGE bonuses last year that didn't count towards the cap.

At the conclusion of each League Year, the amount of
Performance Bonuses actually earned, including, without
limitation, and for purposes of clarity, (i) Exhibit 5 Individual "A"
Performance Bonuses and "B" Performance Bonuses paid by the
Club that may be earned by Players in the Entry Level System and
(ii) Performance Bonuses that may be earned by Players pursuant
to Section 50.2(b)(i)(C) above, shall be determined and shall be
charged against the Club's Upper Limit and Averaged Club Salary
for such League Year. To the extent a Club's Averaged Club
Salary exceeds its Upper Limit as a result of: (i) Exhibit 5
Individual "A" Performance Bonuses and "B" Performance
Bonuses paid by the Club that may be earned by Players in the
Entry Level System and (ii) Performance Bonuses that may be
earned by Players pursuant to Section 50.2(b)(i)(C) above, then the
Club's Upper Limit for the next League Year shall be reduced by
an amount equal to such excess.

Ahh I see, so since Toews won the Conn Smythe he got a bonus and I dont know what Kane did, he won the bonus for looking like a New Kid on the Block? So that put them over the cap by 4mil and now they have to be under the cap 4 mil this season?

Kane actually had an incentive about scoring the softest Stanley Cup clinching goal of all time. What are the odds that would happen?

Does Leighton get some of that for letting that pussy goal in?
