Can someone explain why Johnny would get an additional $150k for winning the award? I thought bonus's were only available for ELC's and 35+ player contracts?

Does this extra $150k go onto a teams salary cap?
Major award bonuses are paid by the league thus have nothing to do with a teams cap.
I don't get why people don't like this award. They don't give it to schlubs. Yes, it's the "most gentlemenly" player, but it's also "combined with the highest standard of playing ability."
Past winners I can remember:
Mullen
Bossy
Gretzky (practically owned the trophy)
Datsyuk (like four or five times)
St Louis
Kariya
Francis
Sakic (I'm pretty sure)
Kopitar last year
Like it's not about just not taking penalties. You have to be a pretty good hockey player to win this thing.

Looks like they made the trophy Johnny-sized. Or did his dad actually win something too?
That's the trophy the player gets to keep. If you watched the awards show you would have seen the players receiving mini versions of the awards they won.

Not to mention Marcel Dionne, who won it twice (that's why he was there to hand it to Johnny).
I'm a little interested in his exclamation "this is the guy I was with last night".

Johnny Gaudreau is officially a Calgarian.
The tell-tale sign?
The Calgary Flames winger now owns cowboy boots — an essential wardrobe item for the 10 days of the Calgary Stampede and sensible footwear for riding horses, specifically down 9th Ave. SW.
“I’ve got a hat and shirt and stuff, but they told me to go get some boots,” Gaudreau said with a chuckle, following a summertime skating session at WinSport’s facilities Thursday. “I was just going to wear my regular shoes.
“But the guys have been giving me a hard time, telling me not to wear them.”
