We'd be ecstatic if he hit them. Arent rookie bonuses something ridiculous like the Art Ross/Hart/Calder/Conn Smythe wins and playoff wins and things like that?
I thought there were specific bonuses for rookies? Not like 'you get an extra million if you play 50 games' or anything easy like that.

It's pretty old, but one of the first google hits. Here's the part that would apply;
Quote:
1: Individual "A" Bonuses - These are broken into categories like ice time, goals, and plus/minus. Each category has a minimum requirement a team can bonus for (10 goals, for example) and each category may not create more than $215,00 worth of bonuses (you can bonus $100K at 10 goals and then $115K at 15 goals if you want). Total "A" Bonuses can't exceed $850,000.
2: Individual "B" Bonuses - This is kind of a two-part bonus system based on performance comparative to the rest of the league. First off, the league itself will pay the player a bonus outside of his Club-paid salary if he does things like earns a place in the top five for postseason awards like the Hart, Selke, or Vezina; or if he places top ten in the league in offensive/goaltending categories. On top of the league bonuses, the club can pay bonuses of up to $2M to the player for making these awards.

So they are probably negotiating details around the "A" type bonuses, i.e. if he received a bonus at 10 goals or 15 goals or 20 goals.
