Thread: Edmonton Oilers signed Corey Perry (1 Year / $1,100,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>It hasn't happened before cause most players earn up to their bonus and the teams normally don't see value in moving them.
If Brown, who to his credit has looked good along side Holloway and Mcleod the last 2 games, was playing to even a ~2.5 Mill player no team would trade him away given his current contract structure.

Guess we'll see what happens, I don't expect Holland to move him though.</div></div>

Hey, we can finally put an end to the question. In this 32 thoughts podcast Elliot Friedman gets asked the exact question of if earned bonuses can be traded with the player. His answer is pretty definitive: no you can't!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>That's the actual dollar amount though, like what Brown puts into his pocket.
The cap hit is different based on what I've found and it states that it is a part of their contract which is moved on trades.

Not to argue, more so am genuinely curious where it's stated that bonus cap stays with the original signing team.</div></div>

I get your point, I can't find the exact rule either. I think the proof is that it's never happened before, contracts with bonuses have been traded before and the new team has never had to take the bonus cap hit the next season.

And if it was possible, I think every possible news article on the oilers would be suggesting we trade his bonuses away
