I understand that they get b bonuses but ur factoring in that everyone else hits their bonuses which is highly unlikely, yes one may win the Calder and one may get a b bonus from being close and yea maybe kakko has a good season and gets some of his bonuses but the chances of everyone hitting their bonuses are sooo unlikely
Im actually not factoring in everyone else, all Im saying is if Shesty and LAF play to our expectations theyll both max their respective bonuses with a Calder going to one of them. They can both max at 2.85m, however we understand that it includes a Calder bonus. We have to think though is that there is likely a bonus for placing top 3 in Calder race as well which theyll both likely do. So just between the 2 of them will amount to lets say 5.25m in bonuses. That clears out your whole open cap space.
Fox is slated to earn 850k in bonuses which look like its all in ‘A’ bonuses that hes likely to hit since hes gonna be our #1 defenseman.
Chytil, Gauthier and Lindgren. I only expect about 425k out of these 3.
Kakko is still slated to max at 2.65m in bonuses (which by doing some simple math, seems like 200k is the Calder bonus hes no longer eligible for). However this is one where you use your judgment on how good he will be if he will improve. I give him 425k in bonuses.
How I come up with these numbers, there are 6 criteria to be met for ‘A’ bonuses. They make $212,500 per bonus, however can only be paid for a max 4 even if they hit all 6, thus 850. Criteria are goals, assists, points, TOI, plus minus, points per game.
