Interesting. Most of the Performance Bonuses that can be given to ELC players have minimums that would be impossible to achieve in 8 games.
He could be given a Games Played bonus, but there's still a limit on those too:

Subject to the Entry Level compensation limits set forth in Section 9.3 above, for Skaters: (i) bonuses awarded for five (5) games played shall be limited to a maximum of $25,000 in the aggregate; and (ii) bonuses awarded for ten (10) or more games played are not limited as to the maximum amount of the bonus;

Maybe he'll get $25,000 if he plays in 5 games and the rest if he makes it to 10 games... which could only happen if they make the playoffs and he plays in multiple games.
I guess there's no harm in doing that this season. If they make the playoffs and he plays a big role, he gets a nice bonus. If they don't, he doesn't lose anything.
