Entry level contact?

Post by dave1927p »

In EHM07 the entry level contract max is 975,000 for 3 years (plus bonuses) According to hockeybuzz.com Stamkos is getting paid 3,725,000 per year for 3 years and Doughty is getting 3,475,000 per year for 3 years both on entry level contracts. Is this correct? When did the entry level contract maximum change?

Stamkos base salary is 875.000, but he has some bonuses (don't know the specifics) making it possible for him to earn up to 2.850.000 extra if he fulfills all requirements for those bonuses.

This gives him a cap hit of 2.850.000 + 875.000 = 3.725.000

Hope that makes things clearer.
