Bob McKenzie: Players are expected to receive their signing bonuses for the 2020-21 contract year today. In total it would be over $300 million.

Bob McKenzie: The NHL and NHLPA are still sorting out some issues with regards to signing bonuses. “Escrow will also need to be factored in on SB but at what rate? Projected 20 per cent figure for 20-21? Or a lesser number than that?”
