His ELC is for $3.775M, but realistically, it's more like $1.5M.
$2 million of the contract is "Schedule B" bonuses, which are only earned if you finish in the top five in voting for the year-end league awards, or win the Conn Smythe, or get named to the year-end All-Star teams. Because he isn't eligible for the Calder, Cervenka is likely going to get $0 of his Schedule B bonuses (as do most players on ELCs).
Of the other $1.775M on his contract, only $925,000 is guaranteed, and $850,000 is "Schedule A" bonuses, which are based on personal performance, and team-relative performance, so they're easier to achieve.
Here's the breakdown of what he can get:

Right now, it doesn't look like he's on-pace to get any of the Schedule A bonuses either (assuming the numbers are prorated to the shorter season), but they're still obtainable if his play keeps improving.
