Interesting conditions in this thing too...

The Athletic’s George Richards was first to report the structure, the initial season at $6 million — about 70 per cent of which will be paid by Chicago. After that, it is all Panthers, starting at $5.25 million, with the possibility of escalators to $7 million. Here is one way those escalators work: There are bonuses for things like winning one round, going to the Stanley Cup Final, winning it all, etc. If you reach a bonus, not only do you get that payout, but the amount is added to your base salary for the remainder of your contract.

3. The word on the Panthers is they were the most aggressive team on Quenneville, refusing to take no for an answer. They made it clear this was not a search, but his job if he wanted it.

“That is very true,” Tallon said. “We had an idea Philadelphia was aggressive and wanted to get there as well.”
