I have not seen this in another thread and have recently discovered an oddity in the Flames signing bonus section. Does anyone know what the strategy behind the $3.5M signing bonus in 2020/2021 for both Gaudreau and Monohan in their current deals is?
Could this be a move to make them more trade-able later in their deals as less cash would be owed?
