As the 6th overall pick, it will probably be similar to Monahan's ELC: Maximum NHL salary with maximum signing bonus ($925,000 with $92,500 of that as signing bonus); maximum "A" level bonuses ($850,000); and no "B" level bonuses. There could be some "B" bonuses, but not likely the maximum.
I always find it interesting when a player signs a deal like Laine's. $1.8 million in "B" bonuses is just $200,000 off the maximum. Since those level of bonuses are nearly impossible to achieve (they require winning one of the major league awards -- and the Calder doesn't count -- or finishing top 10 in league-wide scoring), I'm always curious how they decided to go just a little below the maximum like that.
