Bonuses all around. They met their target.
And Bettman’s dream comes true. Carolina v Florida and Vegas v either Dallas or Seattle. Small market teams and 2 of the newest teams. Of course, all of them consisting of a bunch of Canadian kids…how much money do these teams get as part of revenue sharing from the Canadian teams (and some original 6 teams) who generate the most $?

Then they should really wanna do well in the playoffs as by then all the fixed costs (such as player salaries) are paid for.
Playoffs is where most of the profitability can be generated

^---- this. Not many people realize the players are playing in the playoffs for free.
This explains the effort of the Leafs players.
Get what you pay for I guess...
I'd be surprised if coach gets fired.
Usually he gets at least one crack at it under a new GM.
I'm sure there's a bonus structure for winning the cup, just like getting MVP/Scoring title, etc.
Also probably doesn't hurt with contract negotiations.

I don't think this has anything to do with it. Athletes at a high level don't give a hoot about pay during the playoffs, and considering they are all in the same boat -- playoff bonuses are neither an incentive nor a disincentive.
Players do get something for playing in the finals, it's calculated and paid only when they bow out or win Stanley. Roughly like this for a full time rostered player:
| 1st Round Losers | $15,625 |
| 2nd Round Losers (LEAFS) | $31,250 |
| 3rd Round Losers | $75,000 |
| Stanley Cup Finalist | $137,500 |
| Stanley Cup Champions | $231,250 |
Bonuses are not the reason players soldier on during the playoffs. They seek the glory of winning, having their name memorialized on the Stanley Cup, their personal day alone with Stanley, and a nice ring, --- Priceless!.

Hockey players work hard!They get paid bi-weekly for an 82 game season. Kinda like teachers.
They are at work about 2400 hours a year, That's quite a bit more than a teacher.
A typical player's off season is 20 weeks, 4 are vacation, 16 are about 20 hour work weeks. Regular season game days average 12 hours (about 100 days) and 6 hours for practice days, about 50 per season. They spend another 300 (NHL) to 1000 hours (AHL) travelling.
