Connor Brown's Contract ($3,225,000 in signing bonus)

[Trash Panda]

I didn’t understand how a guy like Brown garnered such a contract in the first place, and I damn sure don’t now.

If it was anyone besides the oilers, it would be sad.

Thankfully, it’s f***ing hilarious.

He's very good friends with McDavid...that's how.

So the rule is to get the bonus structure under 35 years old is miss more than 100 days of the league’s 185-day season

Brown applied becuase of injuries thats why he is eligble
like corey perry was 34 but got a massive bonus structure because he missed enough games with knee surgery

perry was $250k added for each level of game played (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60) he played 58 games. That was 1.25m

Playoff qualify: 250k (check)
1st round win $250K (check)
Stanley Cup Finals $250K (check)
Win Cup $350K (Missed)

Edmonton could have structured it differently if they chose. But they folded for a pretty meager single benchmark.

Thanks.

These still aren’t like schedule A and B bonuses though.

I agree they could have structured differently. Moreso was asking if they could have structured like your example (goals/points) or can the bonuses only be games played and playoffs.
