There has been a lot of talk recently of why certain things are done and the justification has been to bring more realism to our league.
That is a good thing.
What I would like to see is that the SALARY CAP include such things as signing bonuses and performance bonuses. BTW, I believe that (in the real NHL) most, if not all performance bonuses count to the salary cap before the season starts.
Transparency:
I would like to get rid of performance bonuses or at very least have the full contract made public (including SB and PB's.
Signing bonuses for rookies have gone out of whack in my opinion. I believe that more consultation should have been done.
Cheers
Ron

A SB cannot exceed a players salary as per our constitution. So if a player signed for $3,000,000 per season you can correctly assume the SB is anywhere between $1 and $3,000,000.
I like to take credit for this rule as it was implented pretty quickly after I signed Marc Savard to a relatively low salary but HUGE (14 Million SB) two years ago.

this my friends is called a loop hole and used very well by flyer jack to his advantage as long as savard did not have a season ending injury in sim like he had in the nhl.

2,350,000 and 2,200,000 are the two signing bounes that alex p and evander k got when they signed, you are correct they are out of wack to the low end in our league I'm glad you brought this up. As many of you probably know, the highest bonus amount players can currently receive in the NHL were given to John Tavares, Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (all first overall picks) at $2,850,000. There are currently 17 players on entry level contracts who have received bonuses into the 7 digits that count against the cap. Entry level performance bonuses are broken down into two levels, schedule A and schedule B. Schedule A bonuses max out at $850,000 per year with a maximum of $212,500 per bonus. Schedule B is a touch more complicated. Players can earn individual bonuses for "league-wide excellence" that are paid for by the league. Players can also earn "excess" individual schedule B bonuses, which are subject to a maximum aggregate of $2,000,000 per year. You can see how the bonuses are broken down in the NHL CBA. Exhibit 5 is especially helpful. www.nhl.com/cba/2005-CBA.pdf |

If signing bonuses were really getting out of control, I'd probably be in favor of having it towards to get the cap. However, on the sim side of things, I don't think there is a way, from what I remember looking at Version 2, to keep tabs on the signing bonuses. Which for Nathan, could be a pain in the butt. I have no problem with signing bonuses and performance bonuses to be made public.
