It's to make buyouts less attractive to the team. Signing bonuses aren't included in buyout calculations so the team has to pay the full amount of the sb even if it's being bought out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Petey is hoping the Canucks accidently mix up a couple of his paychecks when he arrives. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DeNiro Posted March 2 Popular Post Share Posted March 2 2 minutes ago, -dlc- said: I love this. I think he meant "show your hand" but we'll get him to the poker table soon enough. This is why I’ve never liked when they’ve had to negotiate with JP Barry and Pat Brisson. They always manage to turn it into a big drama filled production. It always seems like they like the spotlight when it comes to negotiating star contracts. Unfortunately for Petey their advice of not even saying he wanted to be here unfairly turned a lot of fans on him. Hopefully he can reset mentally now and just focus on the team and his game. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting that I have read somewhere, I believe, that John Tavares is disputing the signing bonus is not considered an income salary and is currently going through a lawsuit against CRA to have its taxes for signing bonus to be a lot lower than the salary base would have. If John Tavares wins his case, it will help the Canadian teams ability to keep their star players through signing bonus for a new contract in free agent and not have to be taxed that high and would have put us in a level playing field when it comes to tax purpose. This has been yet to be proven in court through. That is what EP is betting himself on. I think there is no signing bonus on year on his 8 year contract so he might have to pay higher taxes on it. A lot can change when government decide to adjust their tax rates in a near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower102 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 2 hours ago, Breadnbutta said: Happy with the contract but the leafs totally fucked the market. If Nylander never got that bloated extension I bet Petey is closer to 10. Oh well, glad this is over and he's locked up Yep, thats what I have been saying. Pasta and his 11.25 would have been the comp that Petey would have either been below or at the most matched. But the Leafs ruined it by setting Nylander as the low bar Petey wouldn't go below. So 11.6 makes sense, Petey uses his comp of Nylander to be ahead of him, but the Canucks use Pasta as the comp to keep it from getting to 12 and higher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the longer this went on it was always likely teams were gonna start calling. Carolina just happened to be the one to take an actual run at getting him. I do think that management took a hard stance that they weren’t gonna let this go to the summer though. They were scared of their own Takchuk situation happening, especially with how tight lipped and standoffish Petey was being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 11 minutes ago, Hammertime said: I'm not in here to groan happy he is signed. This argument is horse shit though. Mak is at 100 points, Pete's at 78 Maks got a cup and "drives play" hate that term but in this case it can't be denied. Pete is not 1mill less of a player than Mak. Nathan is in a different league than Pete. Right now real world Pete should be 3m less than Nate. Am I butt hurt about it no. If anything I think Mackinnon took a discount and Pete took a fair contract hence the 1m gap. I disagree, but don't have time to get into it right now. Cap % is the way to look at it. I'll explain my position in more detail later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BPA Posted March 2 Popular Post Share Posted March 2 So Hronek next to get a deal done. He’s projected to get 58pts this season. So thinking about $7M to get him resigned. Lindholm (maybe) to be resigned. BUT rumours were $8-9M cap hit. Sorry but he’s nowhere near that. His stats shows he’s a 50-60pt player. So around $6M or let him walk. Zads brings the toughness on D. Avgs 15-20pts. Probably a 4-5 D pairing. So about $4M to resign him. Joshua. Excellent 3rd line big winger. Possibly a 30pt player. Late bloomer though. Thinking $2.5M 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see someone else responded regarding the tax discussion. The other important factor for players doing it is that the signing bonuses get paid up front to start the year and money now is better than money later...especially when it comes to any lockouts that may happen.
