something like 12m this week and 10m in 12 month + the fact that this is his structure
usly if im not mistaken players are paid in 3 separate date yearly of those check some of it is held in escrow ( a substantial amount btw thats why toews came out in the media about it , somehting like 30% is beeing held out)
Signing bonus are exempt of escrow and are paid in 1 swoop on july 1st of every year
out of the 42.45m contract over 5 years, 3.5m are actually paid ( 3x a year x 5 years ) so in 15 payments, the rest (~ 39m) are pure Fat checks every 1st of july starting today( in 5 days)
