@ flappypaddle:
Bonuses earned will count against the cap. There is no way Burke will leave himself in a position where he could end up 5 million over the cap at the end of the year.
Burke will have a target that he thinks will be reached in bonuses and add that to his total salary. He will only gamble on bonuses he is confident will not be reached. He would prefer to be under the cap by the total bonus amount to be able to take on salary at the trade deadline.
In my opinion Burke would have to take four million in salary off that line-up and even then will be tight to the cap at the end of the year. Even if you take a player away that is making 4 million that is not enough because he would probably be replaced by at least a one million player. You would have to remove two three million players and replace both with one million dollar players.
The cap problem the Leafs have because of makeable bonuses is real just because capgeek takes them off becaue you are allowed to be over the cap at the beginning of the year by your bonus amount does not mean any manager would risk being in that situation.
The Leafs are a team fighting for a playoff spot this year and the next year would be handcuffed severely by the penaly.

I am betting he would gamble some what simply because we will have way more affordable goaltending next year with Giggy coming off the books. But I can see your point, it would be intresting to know what the performance bonuses are for some of the players. Just to determine what is achieveable and whats not.
