True, they have been around but take Brayden Point's contract for example: the bonuses are between 4.2M and 7M.
Kucherov has one year with an 11M SB and one with 8M then between 4 and 5 for the rest.
Landeskog only got 1M 1 year and the rest salary.
I could be wrong but this is the first time I have seen such an imbalance towards bonuses.
