The Flames didn’t spend a ton on bonuses in 2017-18
The 2017-18 season is firmly in the rearview mirror for the Calgary Flames. It’s far enough in their rearview that their salary cap situation, in terms of performance bonuses and such, has become clear.
The good news is they’re in pretty good cap shape, both for this season and the next.
2017-18 performance bonuses
Two Flames players received performance bonuses, but the players were in very different situations when they did so.
Sophomore Matthew Tkachuk received two Schedule A bonuses as part of his entry-level contract worth a combined $425,000 – $212,500 for scoring 20 goals and $212,500 for finishing among the top six Flames forwards in ice time.
