Calgary Flames Prospects' Performance Bonuses for 2026-2027

On May 2nd, only 6 Calgary Flames prospects have performance bonuses baked into their entry-level contracts for the 2026-27 season.

Leading the pack is defenseman Zayn Perrek with up to $1 million on the table, mostly from A-level bonuses tied to team performance.

Sam Hanzek and Jonathan Castanja each have $500,000 possible, likely from similar A- bonuses.

These bonuses are extra incentives during a player's cheap contract years, capped by the league rules but only hitting the salary cap have earned.

A bonuses reward standing out among teammates, up to $1 million max, while B- bonuses for league-wide feats or awards can reach $2.5 million, and gains played triggers at smaller bucks.

For the flames, this keeps risk low since nothing counts against the cap unless the kids ball out.

Perrek's top 10 drafts that is justifies his big potential payout. Hanzek's mid-first round spot fits his half-mill and Castanja earned his through a standout college year as top defensive forward in his conference.

Then there are the smaller halls. Andrew Basha with $1.2500 are Sinny Sergiev at $57,000.

$100 and Etienne Morin with $55,000 probably single-category A or games bonuses with minimal cap hit.

The rest of the flames ELC crew, like Tyson Gross, Adar Sinny Ev, Motveg Greedin, Averm Webe, and Hunter Brazusta which has zero bonuses, so the team stays flexible, heading into that season no matter who breaks through.
