Quoting: TMLBRIAN
Oh ya you are right. Saying 8m in bonuses. Ya Deangelo will need to be traded. My bad! Good catch!
According to the collective bargaining agreement, teams are allowed a "performance bonus cushion" of 7.5% of the salary cap total. For an $81.5 million cap, that works out to $6.1125 million in bonuses that won't affect the cap. Anything they pay in performance bonuses over that amount counts against their salary-cap figure.
Lafrenière: $2.85 million, Igor Shesterkin: $2.85 million, Kaapo Kakko: $2.65 million, Adam Fox: $850,000, Filip Chytil: $350,000, Julien Gauthier: $300,000, Ryan Lindgren: $212,500.....Total: $10.0625 million
Subtract $6.1125 million from that total, which equals $3.95 million, and add that to the Rangers’ cap charge.
Now, there are other entry-level players who could make the roster......Morgan Barron: $850,000, Vitali Kravtsov: $850,000, Justin Richards: $500,000, K’Andre Miller: $300,000, Tarmo Reunanen: $132,500
Reality 5-6 million bonus total
