In the first part of the December Avalanche Mailbag, I covered questions ranging from Brent Burns\u2019 cap hit to Jared Bednar\u2019s Jack Adams bid, as well as the future outlook for both Sam Malinski and Samuel Girard.<\/p>\n

Question from Golden Boy<\/p>\n

What is the impact of Brent Burns\u2019 contract for the remainder of this year and going into next?<\/p>\n

Per PuckPedia, he has a base of $1 million with incentives, with $3 million already earned. How does this $3 million accrue against the cap? Is there any impact this year? Does it all apply next year?<\/p>\n

Aarif\u2019s Response<\/p>\n

Burns can earn up to $4 million. Let\u2019s pretend he does, since it\u2019s likely. If, when all is said and done, the Avs have $2 million in cap space at season\u2019s end, then the other $2 million in overages will be subtracted from next year\u2019s cap.<\/p>\n

By being able to sign Burns to one of those contracts (because of his age), it allowed them to have the ability to kick up to $3 million of his cap hit into next season. They have to account for his $1 million base salary for sure this year.<\/p>\n

Question from Mocha Man<\/p>\n
