Getting to the cap floor isn't going to be a problem, even if Kipper retires, unless we trade away a few more vets.
For a team in the Flames position, there really isn't any drawback to giving him the max rookie bonuses, as the Flames aren't going to have salary cap issues for the next two years, plus it is good incentive to get him to come here. If he earns every bonus available, he would be well worth all of that money.
