Obviously, he can do what he thinks he "needs" to do at the deadline, but at some point he has to declare how he is treating the bonuses. At what point in time does that have to occur? (Say, after the Flames with the Cup? or before they start the quest...? or before July 1 and Free Agency)


Clearly there is some allowance for timing, as teams really don't know until the last day of their playing year how much they will need to use for bonuses.
Treliving doesn't need to declare anything. The league will do a final calculation at the end of the playoffs. If there is a bonus overage, they will automatically roll over the amount to next season.
