^Just to add performance bonuses for ELCs are difficult to achieve anyways, you have to be a pretty good prospect to achieve them while your ELC is active
For example:
as a forward to get all the Schedule A bonuses the cba allows (whose aggregate can be a maximum of $850k)
you would have to do at least 4 of the following (all compared to a min 42 games played):
1. be in the club's top 6 among forwards in ice time (aggregate or per game)
2. score 20 goals
3. put up 35 assists
4. put up 60 points
5. greater than 0.773 pts/game
6. get selected to play or play in the all star game
7. club's top 3 forward in +/-
schedule B bonuses can be up to $2 million dollars and are for finishing top 5 in voting for league awards like the hart, calder, norris, lady byng etc or being top 10 in the NHL with points, assists, goals, PPG, etc.
