I don't think in my entire lifetime I have seen a player with less understanding of the concept of offsides.

What are the qualifications for pensions?  There must be a certain amount of games needed for full pension no?

How many games have to be played for a player to receive full NHLPA retirement benefits then?

10 seasons gets you $255,000. Which is the max. 
 
Not sure if 5 seasons gets you exactly half of that. Can't find data on if it's linear. 
 
Players earn something for every 20 NHL games played now though.

Right now heading into next year they have 15 players under contract, and about 12 million in cap space. 
 
 
If Rattie has a good season with McDofus, Poolparty has a decent season, and they have to find a starting goalie that's making 3 to 4 million since Talbot will want probably 5 million they're borked. 
 
 
Borked man. 
 
 
I can't believe how bad that lineup is and how little cheap help they have coming up from their farm system.

And if they have any attained bonuses and they go over the cap, does it still reduce the next season’s cap?

Yes, but they don't have much in terms of potential bonuses this year. Puljujärvi is the only one with anything significant.

Then overpay, declare unhappiness, run player out of town, draft high, ruin draft pick, sign 4th liners. It’s the Oilers’ circle of life!
 
I am happy that Chiasson found a place to play though. Good luck to him.
