NHL Shockwave: Can the Florida Panthers Secure Brad Marchand’s Future Amidst Surging Trade Talks?
** NHLRumors.com transcription
Julien McKenzie: “@MelonbysDeadRat asks for you to please explain 35 and over contracts. Could the Panthers use such a contract to pay Brad Marchant a large portion as a performance bonus that wouldn’t count against the cap until the 26-27 season, when they would have more cap room?”
Johnston: “Oh.”
McKenzie: “It’s a lot of math.”
Johnston: “No, I’m just trying to think. I just wanted to make sure I’m giving the correct answer. Yes, yes, they can. So you’ve seen guys like Corey Perry or some others in, in recent times, basically, they’ll have bonuses sprinkled through their contract. They can be games played bonuses, like at 20 games, you get this, 30, 40. They can be performance-related bonuses, like, if the team gets the playoffs or the first round, you get paid this and that.
