Would it not also mean he effectively gets a $50K "bonus" if he plays the full season in Laval and doesn't play any NHL games?

 

That's exactly what it means.  It's worth noting that the Habs have this type of agreement in quite a few of their two-way contracts.

And nothing wrong with it as it is a useful inducement to get the player to sign and costs nothing on the cap.

Hmm, we was invited to the Jets training camp but they released him afterwards.

Nobody picked him on waivers because of the one-way contract, so he asked for the contract to be terminated. The Habs then signed him on a contract that reduces the AHL salary from $700K to $475K. Niku took it because he wants a second chance at an NHL career.
