Knowing that the Canucks will not want you to earn your performance bonuses that would put them over the cap and have a lower cap in 2014-15 would make these bonuses harder to make.
If some of the performance were related to time on the NHL roster or games played there are going to be some games that you will be in the minors and off of the NHL roster.
The Flames did that with Dustin Boyd a few years ago.. He made the team out of training camp but had to be sent down to reduce his cap hit/salary paid to get the Flames under the cap. He just got called up on game day.
