In case anyone is interested in tracking the Flames bonus overages for next season.

Tkachuk is projected to earn $425k by reaching 2 schedule A bonuses (among top 3 forwards in +/- and 35 assists). He may also get another $212.5k if he is named to the All-Rookie team but that seems unlikely with Laine, Matthews, and Marner.

Bennett is projected to earn $212.5k by reaching 1 schedule A bonus (among top 6 forwards in ice time)

So unless Treliving frees up cap space the Flames will likely have a bonus overage of about 637.5k for next season (and assuming Treliving doesn't bring in another player that has bonuses due like Vrbata).

Freeing up cap space to avoid the bonus overage may also be another goal in moving Wideman.
