Fail to sign a former 3rd overall Montreal bust and settle on another?Yeah but Carolina did that tactically as it was the first week of free agency and Montreal had actual options to potentially go after, at this point in free agency though? What's Carolina gonna go out and spend 6 million on, Galchenyuk? I think it's genuinely just a really good offer sheet that has given the Canadiens pause
I don't care what anyone says about Bergevin, he makes things interestingHaven't been this exited for offseason action... for a player and teams I'm not even a fan of.

Guess what kind of team Montreal is

St.Louis was fined a first round pick for tampering with Scott Stevens.Toronto got dinged for Wilson saying he/the Leafs were interested in the Sedins going to free agency
NHL fines Maple Leafs for tampering
though, contrary to that headline, the League did clarify, it was not full-on organizational tampering, like they were actually sneaking behind Vancouver's backs and negotiating with the players, just inappropriate public comments
NHL statement on Leafs' tampering allegations
Vancouver then, 7 years later, got hit for similar charges for discussing the possibility of signing Stamkos and Lucic
Canucks fined $50,000 by NHL for violating tampering by-law - Sportsnet.ca
Those are the only open sanctions I can remember
It's a pretty open secret that teams talk to UFAs before the actual free agency period - in fact, so many players signing long term deals the minute free agency opened became such a blight, the League created an official interview period where teams and players could openly talk about each others' interests, just not salary specifics; the League just scrapped that as teams were clearly talking compensation and specifics anyway.
Yet, even though window was "not being used properly", as per the NHL, no tampering charges came out of it.
It seems they only really care if something is mentioned publicly; otherwise, everyone does it.
Neither. 1C in Montreal means 1 center.
St.Louis was fined a first round pick for tampering with Scott Stevens.
I believe that pick eventually turned into Zack Parsie but it may have involved the Devils trading up
Time is a human construct that has no real meaning.
If they don't match, then they better sign their other good RFA's before they can also be signed to offer sheets.
Once GM's smell blood in the water...
A rule of thumb, if you pay double you'll get the player.If they don't match, then they better sign their other good RFA's before they can also be signed to offer sheets.

You have to file paperwork with the League office. They take deadlines seriously. If you file paperwork day of and there's an error that is not rectified before before deadline passes, it's as if you didn't match.
This isn't evidence of anything, but if you were matching, why leave it to chance that an error might screw up your plans?
They'll pay double what a player is worth.
Every gm is kicking themselves - why didn't I think of that? Now it's Carolina who has Kotkaniemi with a ridiculous contract

And Tatar’s 30 points made him the 4th leading scorer on the Habs.Tatar had ten goals and 30 points last year, didn’t play in the playoffs. You are right though, I just didn’t see him as being much of a piece.
