Wrong section, but that's a really low offer. But, hey, that's the game. Aho will probably ask for 8 yrs x $11M and they'll finish somewhere in between.

[Il Stugotz]

Damn that’s insulting

 

[780il]

That's an embarrassingly low offer

 

[Rob Brown]

Wow.

 

[BL92]

And here I was thinking that they want to keep him at all costs.e

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Wow this BS again?!?! Can these clowns stop pushing a news story without giving all the details.

This was the offer from last October. Aho said I wanna see how this season goes and let’s not talk about it until then.

Yes he said no 6 months ago.

 

[Saitama]

I know you start on the low end and meet your player in the middle somewhere, but that's like, several steps below the low end for a player like Aho....

 

[Clayonator]

No wonder he’s reported as such a likely offer sheet candidate. Dundon may actually be cheaper than Melnyk if that’s even possible.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Wasn’t this first reported by Eklund?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Kind of lowball offer, even if it's just the initial offer. I'd be surprised if he gets much if anything less than Eichel, potentially more.

[Maylo]

John Shannon needs to retire already.

[Langdon Alger]

Damn that’s insulting

6 million dollars a year is insulting? Who are you? Larry Walker?

I get that he could get more than that, but I find it funny when someone calls being offered that kind of money an insult. That’s 48 million dollars total. Lower than he could get? Sure. Insulting? Come on fella.

 

[POVERTY]

"Go get em Don"

 

[tarheelhockey]

John Shannon has consistently stirred up bull**** with regard to the Hurricanes.

This was the same guy who reported the Canes going to QC without any basis whatsoever, and also broke the extremely important story that the Canes would not wear Whalers uniforms during the ECF.

I’d take anything he says as tabloid material at best, especially considering he consistently seems to be a degree of separation away from sources within the organization.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Living in Toronto and having Shannon constantly spew nonsense on Fan 590 is already tiring enough. He is honestly such a hack that plays up lazy narratives until the end of time.

If this rumour of this being a CURRENT offer is true I’ll eat crow but I don’t trust any part of it right now.

 

[bl02]

you sure that's not 8 aav for 6 years? and even that is probably low.
This can't be real

Tell me a young ppg player that signed for 6 M or less?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

If he's getting $6M then he gets two years. Then he has to ask for $11M per if he's much better.

If no deal is done I want the Jets to make a pitch at Aho starting with Ehlers.

 

[McShogun99]

6 million??? That’s Lucic money...

 

[atreyuavenged]

What an insult.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

This is exactly what Kypreos was trying to spread. I bet that's who Shannon heard it from.
