Toews to WPG

[TheJackBurton]

Gotta be league min with incentives. Why not PTO in this situation. Too insulting for the mighty Toews???

According to reports; it's a 2 mil base with an additional 5 mil in potential bonuses.
Pretty dumb move by Winnipeg IMO.

ooofff if so that's a terrible contract even for a year.

[BalotelliMassive]

If they go to the third round then it's a great contract...

Winnipeg is not about to lose any sleep over giving the local boy with 3 cups to his resume 2M plus incentives. Be serious.

[somni]

Here's the breakdown of the bonuses. This is after the $2M base salary:

Bonuses:
After 20 Regular Season GP: $550,000
After 30 Regular Season GP: $550,000
After 40 Regular Season GP: $550,000
After 50 Regular Season GP: $550,000
After 60 Regular Season GP: $550,000

Jets in playoffs + Toews plays 50 games:
$500,000
Jets win 1st RD + Toews plays 50% of games:
$250,000
Jets win 2nd RD + Toews plays 50% of Round 2: $250,000
Jets win 3rd RD + Toews plays 50% of Round 3: $250,000
Jets win Stanley Cup + Toews plays 50% of Stanley Cup Final: $1M

So it's not performance based, it's based on games played. So would you pay a Toews $4.75M to play 60 games?

According to Friedman and Jets beat writer Ken Wiebe, here are the contract details:

Again, with @WiebesWorld, Toews and Jets contract breakdown:
Base salary: $2M
 
Bonuses:
After 20 Regular Season GP: $550,000
After 30 Regular Season GP: $550,000
After 40 Regular Season GP: $550,000
After 50 Regular Season GP: $550,000
After 60 Regular Season GP:  $550,000
 
Jets in playoffs + Toews plays 50 games:
$500,000
Jets win 1st RD + Toews plays 50% of games:
$250,000
Jets win 2nd RD + Toews plays 50% of Round 2: $250,000
Jets win 3rd RD + Toews plays 50% of Round 3: $250,000
Jets win Stanley Cup + Toews plays 50% of Stanley Cup Final:  $1M

So as long as he plays 60+ games and the Jets make the playoffs, he’ll make over $5m no matter how well he plays in those 60 games.

That seems a little rich for me. Then again, the Blues paid Suter $2.225M in bonuses this season, $3M total, so perhaps that’s the going rate these days.

I wouldn’t pay him that much for 82

At least Suter has been continually playing. Being that age and out for a couple years, plus being a forward, I just don’t see it. I could be wrong, but odds are stacked.

How much bonus does he get if he steps into play goal in road playoff games?

See what? He’s stepping into an established core where he can be a leader with experience in a reduced role.

This makes one wonder what other kinds of forums you have been banned multiple times from. Oof.

[dhsux]

Makes sense he’d go play for his hometown team. Probably as their 3C. I expect it to be a low cap hit but with incentives added. But we likely won’t hear the contract details until it becomes official on 7/1.

You were right on this MN.

sooo creepy.

Seems pretty safe to me, essentially they have complete control of how much beyond 2 million they pay him every step of the way
