(I'm a tax guy...we are always thinking about the ways in which the Feds "grind down" allowances to companies...this seems like an interesting opportunity for Chia! Ha ha.)
Thanks - being the "cap guy" at an organization like the Flames seems like one VERY interesting position. Lots to think about, lots to play with.

Thing is you can't roll over the same bonus overage twice, so it doesn't really accumulate like that. IIRC bonuses can only be on ELCs, over 35 contracts, and contracts after a major injury (?). So it's difficult to have more than 1-2 bonuses active at a time, and outside of a player who's amazing in year 1 of an ELC you don't generally get a player hitting bonuses in consecutive years.
