Re: Trevor Moore
While his NHL salary ($925k) is the max salary, he didn't really sign for the max amount on an ELC. His AAV (salary + bonuses) = $1.775M per year which is far from the max ELC he can sign. From what I can see, he got Schedule A bonuses on his ELC but no Schedule B bonuses, which are normally based around league awards, etc.
The difference between Schedule A and Schedule B bonuses:
1: Individual "A" Bonuses - These are broken into categories like ice time, goals, and plus/minus. Each category has a minimum requirement a team can bonus for (10 goals, for example) and each category may not create more than $215,00 worth of bonuses (you can bonus $100K at 10 goals and then $115K at 15 goals if you want). Total "A" Bonuses can't exceed $850,000.
2: Individual "B" Bonuses - This is kind of a two-part bonus system based on performance comparative to the rest of the league. First off, the league itself will pay the player a bonus outside of his Club-paid salary if he does things like earns a place in the top five for postseason awards like the Hart, Selke, or Vezina; or if he places top ten in the league in offensive/goaltending categories. On top of the league bonuses, the club can pay bonuses of up to $2M to the player for making these awards.
Either way, he is swimming in a pool full of high end prospects fighting for few NHL jobs. I think he has a lot to prove before he gets his NHL shot. I can see them giving the opportunities to their own draft picks over guys they signed as Free agents. I am not saying he's not worth taking a shot on, I am just saying I'd be surprised if he gets a sniff anytime soon unless he comes in and completely forces their hand.
