We all hear how much of a hard worker Treliving is so should anyone be surprised he would roll up his sleeves and arm wrestle with an agent over bonuses?
Oh, I get it now, he wants to max out his 'A' bonuses on sweetheart BS like ice-time or 3 goals scored to get the $850k.
It isnt the money being negotiated its the achievements.
There are minimums that need to be reached for the bonuses to be achieved, so you can't give a guy $100,000 for scoring one goal.
You could give a player $100,000 for 20 goals, another $100,000 for 25, and the final $12,500 for 30, but the total a player can receive for goals scored can't exceed $212,500.
Here are the minimums for forwards...
(i) Ice time (aggregate and/or per Game). Player must be among top six (6) forwards on the Club (minimum 42 Regular Season Games played by Player and comparison group). (Note: an Entry Level SPC may contain bonuses for both aggregate and per Game ice time; however, the maximum aggregate amount the Player may receive on account of the ice time category is $212,500.)
(ii) Goals: 20 Goal Minimum
(iii) Assists: 35 Assist Minimum
(iv) Points: 60 Point Minimum
(v) Points Per Game: .73 Points Per Game Minimum (minimum 42 Regular Season Games played)
(vi) Plus-Minus Rating: Among top three (3) forwards on the Club (minimum 42 Regular Season Games played by Player and comparison group).
(vii) End-of-Season NHL All-Rookie Team
(viii) NHL All-Star Game (selected to play or plays)
(ix) NHL All-Star Game MVP

Jankowski pretty much has no chance to hit those bonuses, since he is not even expected to make the team next year, correct? However, it would still be a PITA because they would count against the cap - am I right that this is the issue?

Why settle for 3 minutes, when you can have 7 hours? Life's too short not to go full Lizard man.
