Does Carolina's owner even have the money? 21M for 1 year..

No, he doesn't have any money. I heard he bought the team with a collateral payment of scratch off lottery tickets and those McDonald's Monopoly stickers

 

[MikeK]

CAR easily matches this but will wait the full 7 days just to say thanks.

 

[Canes]

I know how to google, I see he wasted $400m on a team in a small market and lost almost $100m on failed football venture. He doesn’t seem to be very intelligent despite his wealth.

Says some random dude on HFboards who won't even earn a small fraction of Dundon's wealth in his lifetime.

And he obviously has money to blow, so it seems you've contradicted yourself.

 

[Epictetus]

We finally get an offer-sheet and it actually provides more support for the idea that the NHL is an old boys club.

Amazing.

 

[Djp]

Does this mean the Habs are out on Lee? All their money is tied up on this offer sheet, and it sounds like Canes can take as long as they'd like to match it.

no teams have 110% cap to work with.

they can do trades but cant trade their comp picks to carolina until they formally match

 

[tony d]

A bit of a low offer for Aho all things considered. People are saying Carolina will match, we'll see what happens.

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Even when MB does something right he still does it wrong.

 

[CH25]

The good news about this is that the Habs aren't interested in the remaining UFAs lol

Luckily the cost of living in Raleigh is super cheap. You can get a nice 2 bedroom condo for the cost of Baltic Avenue, Reading Railroad, and Water Works.

Lol Bergevin keeps hammering the point that Aho wants to be a hab.

 

[Pestilence]

Carolina gets their player signed to a moderate amount and term.

Montreal gets their cap locked into the offer sheet so they can't do any stupid signings they would later regret.

Seems like a win-win offer sheet

 

[JJTT]

Lol is Bergevin actually expecting him to join the team? Really weird press conference.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Might as well fold the franchise if they don't match

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Waddells gotta wait for the very final second to match id imagine.

Screws the Habs all week to sign guys

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

People here on hfboards have no idea thats is a win win situation for Montreal

We win Aho
Or we lose him and Gardiner and Lee will be signed already so habs wont waste 9x7 for Lee and 7x7 for Gardiner

For most of habs fans , Its a win win situation today

Haters gonna hate

 

[AvatarAang]

stupid question but is his AAV the same each year? I remember nylander signed a weird contract that gave him a 10+ AAV, but i think that's just because he signed during the season right?

 

[bobholly39]

I love that this happenned

A bit disappointed its low but we'll see what happens

 

[TheOllieC]

People in this thread really have no idea who Dundon is. He’s a weirdo for sure, but he has a lot of money. No one is saying he’s gonna buy out Molson and move the Habs to New Orleans, but he can afford to pay Aho some extra cash up front.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I never thought I would see a day where a Canes fan chirp a Habs fan on financial issue.
Yes Dundon is a billionaire but do you know the Habs is...the Habs?

 

[Trap Jesus]

Might as well fold the franchise if they don't match

 

[fsanford]

Dundon bought the team for 420 million, I doubt if he lets him walk even with all that money up front,. Guessing though Aho gets his money if there is a lockout.

Carolina would be wise if the plan is to re-sign, to drag this out for the allotted time, just because it kind of puts Montreal in a holding pattern for a week

 

[TheOllieC]

Lol Bergevin keeps hammering the point that Aho wants to be a hab.

Doesn’t everyone?

 

[JoVel]

Umm no he doesn't. He wants money.
