That being said, I never imagined 2 years ago when Marleau signed that it would take a 1st to gert out from under the 3rd year of the contract. Is there a precedence for that kind of a payout? I thought there would be at least one team to want a $2-4M cash player (after bonus was paid) and count $6.5M against the cap and that the player could potentially contribute 15 goals and leadership.

2/3 of $4.25m is $2.8m?

Bonus gets paid no matter what and doesn't factor into the buyout amount.

Got it. Thank you.
"Signing Bonus
Signing bonuses are paid to the player regardless of a buyout. Therefore, as explained in the buyout caphit formula above, signing bonuses are excluded in the equation when determining the total buyout cost, and are included in the AAV value when determining the remaining caphit.
Signing bonuses therefore decrease the buyout caphit savings. In the case of players with significant signing bonuses, such as David Clarkson, the remaining caphit decreases minimally. Due to this, Clarkson's contract has been referred to as a buyout-proof contract."

Marleau has a no movement clause and wasn't just gonna go where we told him, that's why the deal had to happen before buyout period so he would agree to waive. How many times does that need to be written??

Not surprising of course.
Zee said:The only remaining question is will SJ take him back on Monday?
Yup and I'd suspect he'll sign for around that.Bates said:If Marleau signs for league minimum he gets a raise.
Perhaps with a few fairly easy to achieve performance bonuses since those can take you over cap and be paid back as overages next year.Guilt Trip said:Yup and I'd suspect he'll sign for around that.Bates said:If Marleau signs for league minimum he gets a raise.
Marleau will make more then he would have playing here and SJ is doing him a favour. I don't see SJ paying him anything over minimum. They're not exactly going to be in any better shape next year with the cap.Hobbes said:Perhaps with a few fairly easy to achieve performance bonuses since those can take you over cap and be paid back as overages next year.Guilt Trip said:Yup and I'd suspect he'll sign for around that.Bates said:If Marleau signs for league minimum he gets a raise.
Marleau won't be back. One of his kids has to go to a special school or something similar and this couldn't be accomplished here. While the Leafs def wanted to shed his contract, Marleau is ultimately the guy that wanted out. His family is leaving T.O.Frycer14 said:If SJ doesn't want him, there's nothing stopping toronto from signing him for 750 for 3rd/4th line minutes, no? I'd have no issue with it.
