As it pertains to entry-level performance bonuses, Lamoriello’s past position is well known thanks to this quote courtesy of Tom Gulitti after the bonus-free Adam Larsson ELC was signed by Lou’s Devils in 2011:
We do not have any individual bonuses in any player’s contract and never had it including our picks that we’ve drafted over the years. This was established after a couple of years that I came (to New Jersey). I saw something that in my mind is not team-first philosophy when players have bonuses that if they score goals, they get more money, or if they get more ice time than another player, they get more money.
