Slafkovsky, Wright sign entry-level deals
The Canadiens drafted Slafkovsky with the No. 1 pick in last week's 2022 NHL Draft, while the Kraken selected Wright with the No. 4 pick.

The bonuses are actually awesome because it’s going to, or at least should, drive this kid even more to rack up the points. If he busts, the city is going to snap but if he becomes a star, his jersey and billboards will be everywhere. He’ll have the city by the balls lol
How does the bonus stuff work
Is his cap hit 925k or add the bonus for 4+ mil ..............even if he doesnt earn the bonus

Purely from memory:
Players on ELCs will have certain bonuses given to them based on defined criteria. The first year of the ELC is the usual ~$900k or whatever the caphit is.
Let's say one of the bonuses is $500k for 41 games played. That bonus will be carried over into the team's caphit the following season. If he hits all of his bonuses in the 2022-2023, which is ~$3.5M based on that report, his caphit in 2023-2024 will be $4.4M instead of $900k.
If he doesn't hit any of the bonuses, the extra caphit isn't carried over.
(Again, purely from memory, I might be completely wrong)

This is a few years old & the new CBA might have amended certain things, but it gives you a good idea:

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
I just hope they're smart and tell the kid to live downtown and not in friggin' Brossard.
