I was under the impression that bonuses for trophies were written into the SPC.

The league automatically gives a cash award for being in the top 3 of the Calder. The league award doesn't count towards the cap

Teams and players can negotiate additional bonuses that are paid out by the team and do count against the cap.


From Capgeek before they got shutdown:

Schedule B bonuses, with criteria and amounts outlined in the tables below, are automatically paid by the league and do not need to be written into an entry-level contract. Schedule B bonuses paid by the league do not count against the team's salary cap.
However, a player and club may agree to any compensation for the Schedule B categories listed blow, provided the maximum aggregate amount does not exceed $2 million. That means up to $2 million can be earned by achieving just one Schedule B bonus criteria (ie. Calder Trophy win). Schedule B bonuses paid by the team count against the team's salary cap.
Following is a list of Schedule B bonuses that are automatically paid by the league and likewise the categories that can be negotiated between the team and player.
