Here are the minimum qualification levels for ELC Schedule A bonuses that Tkachuk and Bennett should be eligible for...

Forwards
  1. Ice time (aggregate and/or per Game). Player must be among top six (6) forwards on the Club (minimum 42 Regular Season Games played by Player and comparison group). (Note: an Entry Level SPC may contain bonuses for both aggregate and per Game ice time; however, the maximum aggregate amount the Player may receive on account of the ice time category is $212,500.)
  2. Goals: 20 Goal Minimum
  3. Assists: 35 Assist Minimum
  4. Points: 60 Point Minimum
  5. Points Per Game: .73 Points Per Game Minimum (minimum 42 Regular Season Games played)
  6. Plus-Minus Rating: Among top three (3) forwards on the Club (minimum 42 Regular Season Games played by Player and comparison group).
  7. End-of-Season NHL All-Rookie Team
  8. NHL All-Star Game (selected to play or plays)
  9. NHL All-Star Game MVP


We don't know what exactly is in either of their contracts, but assuming they can receive the maximum allowed for all categories at the minimum threshold, they will receive...
Bennett: He was 5th in aggregate and 6th in per game ice time among forwards. That is the only category where he met the minimum. That should be a total of $212,500.

Tkachuk: He led all forwards on the team in +/-, and reached 35 assists tonight. That should be a total of $425,000.

There's a small chance Tkachuk could get named to the All-Rookie team, but it will likely be Matthews, Marner, and Laine. The only way that Tkachuk will make it is if Marner and Nylander somehow split the Leafs vote (or the voters don't want too many Leafs) and Tkachuk comes up the middle.


As a result, the Flames should have a small, but manageable, bonus overage carryover to next season.
