    It must be performance bonuses. Josefson had a 90k signing bonus, and Zajac had a 295k singing bonus,

    Huh, I didn't know Zajac could carry a tune. Me, I've been banned from most karaoke bars in Ontario.

    Nothing to see here... this is just the positioning of the bonuses and nothing else. The deal was always getting done and he was always getting max value on that contract

    Lots of BS hyperbole over Lou having an internal policy of NEVER giving bonus $$ on an ELC. 1st time ever for him as GM to do so
    He gave Marner bonus money

    I can't believe anyone was actually worried about this. This is one of the weirdest pointless panic storylines I've ever seen.

    It took Florida and Aaron Ekblad until September to get an ELC done and it was barely talked about.

    Ah but they never had Lou, who has been so frugal in the past, doing the deal in a hockey crazy city... Who knew New Jersey's pockets were so deep it didn't matter what they paid....
