Halak isn't coming that cheap just to be a backup goalie

Damn thats dope. Totally unexpected.

Its official bro
I have said the same thing, but apparenty he did

I love how wrong you were.

That show he want to win more than money

Nice signing by the Bruins, goes to show how a winning team and a plus city to live in can really have it easy to keep good players

Wow he really loves the Bruins I guess. Willing to shoot himself in the foot for them

I mean he already made over 30 Million, at one point you play the game to win before getting money

Wait a second. I thought having fun was the most important part

CF is reporting $3.5M if he plays 10 games though... I find it hard to believe he won't play 10 games. Strange bonus structure.

No, its a way to easily pay him without it going against the cap.

If the bonus vests it counts against the cap though.

lol

Not next year, the year after

No, it counts against the current year. What you're thinking of is that a team may exceed the salary cap due to performance bonuses by the maximum performance bonus cushion amount of 7.5 percent of the upper limit, in which case the excess rolls over to next year.

Scratch Halak off on any ones wish list, Was hoping Detroit could get him. But he wants to stay on a winning team for less. And who could blame him. Take one potential UFA off the market.

He's 35 and by the time he gets 10 games in it'll be say US Thanksgiving for argument sake in a normal year. In a Cap world, screwed by COVID, best to delay putting money on the books as long as possible. Also, who knows how he'll be by then health-wise with games left this year and playoffs and short break then new training camp etc...
