He is still a RFA when his rookie contract is up so the cost is controlled some. Its up to Power to sign a contract extension early for a significant pay raise, or wait a couple of years till the rookie deal expires and get a moderately better RFA contract deal then, So its take significantly more money for immediate future or push it out and wait for a bigger payday

Power is on his ELC (rookie contract) for just one more season.  After next season, he will be an RFA and need a new contract.  So it’s either this offseason or next offseason that he will sign a new contract.  Either way he makes the same amount next season.  Contract extensions don’t kick in until the original contract finishes up, even if they are signed early.

Would he not get a fat signing bonus or is that just NFL contracts ???

He could, but there are limits to how much salary can rise or fall throughout the term of the contract, and for accounting purposes, the contract will count the same against the cap each year at total money earned over the life of the contract divided by the contract term in years.  Signing bonuses really only get a guy his money earlier in a given year than he'd get it as pure salary.  It also isn't subject to escrow withholding, but if the player ends up being due less money (due to HRR being lower than expected) than the nominal value of what the contract stipulates he'll need to pay money back.  (Kind of like how the government withholds money from your paycheck then you either get some back at the end of the year or owe some when taxes are filed.)

A signing/roster bonus in the NHL just adds to the base payroll of the player for that particular season, it doesn't get spread across multiple seasons like an NFL signing bonus does.

Also, NHL contracts don't get altered during their duration unlike NFL contracts.  And there are very few performance bonuses allowed and they are only allowed under special circumstances (ELCs, old vets signing 1 year deals, guys coming off major injury) again unlike the NFL.  And that's why the NHL's cap is a hard cap and the NFL's is for the most part largely imaginary.  (Eventually, it becomes real in the NFL, but teams are able to put off the hurt of big deals for many years.)
