That's because you aren't paying attention! If you knew anything at all about hockey you'd know Connor Carrick, who singlehandedly spurred the Bruins to an all time best regular season record!

bedard more like befart this guy's a BUM

I wish they would list what he would need to do to qualify for his performance bonuses

Where would I find that info?

HBD Connor!

Who's this guy??? I didn't realize there's a Bedard in the league... I am really looking forward to this guy named Dradeb Ronnoc though

Overpay, Common Blackhawks L

Probably the Chicago homers

Risky contract for a guy who might not be able to play at the nhl level.

With all that money maybe he can learn how to shoot a puck

New Capfriendly users bout to be baffled again

People on here still do the "overpay" and "who" shtick in 2023?

Another nobody career ECHL signing.

lol not what I expected in the comment section

I see we are gaslighting Chicago fans in here!! Keep doing it…

It’s comedy gold.

Also keep voting no 😂😂

Nobody ever gave me $95,000 on my 18th bday! Sheesh!

Yes, there is a cap on bonuses and -- you guessed it -- it's $3.5M per season. I guess they're not required to disclose what the criteria are for meeting these bonuses, because you don't hear much about that, but of course I'm curious. As I understand it, there have to be at least 5 separate bonuses to make up the $3.5M, because $1M of it is Schedule A bonuses which are limited to $250k per bonus, so it takes four of those to make $1M. I don't think there are any such restrictions on Schedule B bonuses, which is the other $2.5M, but I'm no expert.

By the way, for those of you who are calling this a bad signing, the only guaranteed money is the $95,000 per year signing bonus, plus $82,500 if they send him to the minors. It's nice to see that the Hawks aren't betting too much on his ability to make the team.

Happy birthday, Connor!

I concur, seeing has he has the option for more performance bonus money than Matthews and McDavid did.

Good 4th line depth.

Seems like there are chemistry issues in Chicago.

Remind us how many cups Connor has again?

Should be a great SHL or LIIGA Bottom 6 Forward after his contract.

I think there is quite a bit of sarcasm in here for anyone saying this is a bad signing. At least that was my intention.

Only diehard bedard fans will vote yes to this delusional contract.

Massive overpay, can't believe it

Yeah, I got that. I was just playing along but trying to put a different spin on it.
