Was 14 rows behind the bench last night. Draisaitl was visibly agitated about something after some shifts. Pissy, if you will. Brown looks like a career AHL'er filling in due to a raft of injuries. He's starkly out of place out there. If Brown could be traded, would the bonus follow him to the acquiring team? I'm not certain - but I think it might be pro-rated. Should most definitely be looked at. Like now. If it's pro-rated, we've played just over 30% of the season, so we could save $2.2M next year? That's worth a pick at least IMO. 1 assist and a team worst -8 in 20 games. If the bonus does follow him out the door, they really need to pay the price to flush this mistake sooner rather than later. Looks like team bonus is hit with pays 100% Jagr 14/15. Jagr had a 45 game 2M bonus. He was traded to Florida after 57 games played. Lucky Lou confirmed Jersey pays it all. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/12388464/florida-panther s-acquire-jaromir-jagr-new-jersey-devils-two-draft-picks The Panthers will pick up the full prorated remainder of Jagr's $3.5 million salary, but the Devils are responsible for his $2 million games-played bonus, which he has already achieved, Lamoriello confirmed to ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun.

The Oilers would have had to pay it - but would the cap hit be pro-rated?

And I don't know who would take Brown now. 0-1-1 playing mostly top-6 minutes with the best players in the league? How do you convince anyone that they should trade for him? Other than packaging good assets with him.
