NHL Shockwave: Can the Florida Panthers Secure Brad Marchand’s Future Amidst Surging Trade Talks?
And all of those bonuses, the accounting for them, that the money paid in the bonus itself, not the player’s base salary, can be deferred a year on the cap.
And so the Panthers could conceivably do that. And I don’t know the exact limitations, if any, on how, like, what percentage has to be paid in the bonus versus whatever, but it is a way to defer the pain. Call it, and it’s not that it’s pain, it’s just you’re trying to be smart about, you know, what you want to do with those contracts.
And so, yeah, that is, that’s something they could do. Now, I believe they would have to sign them to a one-year deal to do it. That’s probably more of the fly in the ointment is, you know, at this stage, I think Brad Marchant is looking at a three to four-year contract, and I think he’s going to have a lot of bidders that are willing to do that.
