Sounds like a great way to piss off a future franchise player. I don't get the strategy there - the only way the bonuses max out is if all the performance bonuses are achieved. If the performance bonuses are achieved, you've probably had a performance worth more than most guys getting 3.75 mil.
Just a dumb principle. I get that the guy is a legendary GM, but you'd be hard pressed to convince me there's anything positive to this strategy.

Ya it's a different story IMO with a franchise center top pick. He's gotta give him the bonuses... anyways, I'm happy for JP and all the others that have signed and I hope Lou caves soon or else I can see ownership stepping in and telling Lou to just get it done and stop being a moron
Have the luxory of sending him to the AHL as he's a European skater.
If he isn't ready for the NHL he'll be in Bakersfield.

He could create a new Lindros situation if he tries that with Matthews.
Matthews shouldn't sign until he gets those bonuses. I don't get why he won't just give him them, every other high pick gets them.
He's potentially the face of the franchise for a long time and is going to be the main part of their young core and he can't give him what every other pick gets?

Agreed.
I had no idea that Lou would pull that crap with a 1OA. You have to feel for Leaf fans, to have that doubt in the back of their mind after all the excitement and hype. I'm sure it gets done but not a great way to start off a relationship.
if he looks like he can be an impact middle 6 player then he should stay with the team, otherwise Eberle-Yak-Kassian-Pak down the right side. Would love a Hudler signing

After all the leaf fans saying guys like stamkos,tavares,subban etc will bail on their teams and sign in toronto it would be kinda funny if Lou being so cheap caused Matthews to demand a trade.
As a player I would fight for those bonuses. One bad injury and your career is done, then the organization kicks you to the curb. take the money while you can

Potentially highest paid 4th overall pick.
Those performance bonuses don't earn themselves.
matters what his conditions are mcdavids were super easy to make drai basically had to go to the all star game and win the calder to get his.

Doesn't make any sense tbh. I don't think the Leafs are going to be in any worry of cap overages during his contract, and the organization has no problem paying players salaries to acquire assets.

McDavid's were easy to hit? He had to either finish top 10 in G/A/P/PPG, finish top 5 in selke/hart voting, be a first or 2nd team all-star, or win Calder (I think, Calder isn't showing on general fanager likely because he's no longer eligible) to hit his schedule B bonuses which are 2/3 of his eligible bonuses. I'm pretty sure Draisaitl has pretty much the same conditions for his schedule B bonuses, and Puljujarvi's likely will also be the same.

77 points or 33 goals.
Lowest paid player over either line was Brad Marchand with 4.5mil. Pavelski and Wheeler where 5.6 and 6mil.

His stick handling was quite suspect this past season, but once he gets used to his new longer stick he's going to be a force.
