[Blueline Bomber]

More trolling or maybe today?

Haha I love this

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Done.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Done.

BUT THEY DIDN'T WAIT THE WHOLE SEVEN DAYS WHAT A TRAVESTY

 

[Svechhammer]

We ain't stopped dunking on them yet

 

[Muuri]

Teräväinen commented about this situation in Finnish media today. He had spoken on phone with Aho earlier and said that it was always clear to him that Aho saying at Carolina.

Teuvo Teräväisen ja Sebastian Ahon päävalmentajana toimiva NHL-legenda kerää kiitosta – "Se treenaa salilla joka päivä viimeisenä kuin hullu"

Haha. Brind'amour is every day the last one in the gym, Teuvo tells.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

He totally wanted to play for the Habs

 

[Roboturner913]

He's just posturing

 

[Svechhammer]

They are not taking things well on the trade board right now

Ya hate to see it

 

[bleedgreen]

Yeah he did. He signed a contract with them. He likes playing for us too.

 

[SvechneJerk]

So, there are French-Canadians calling people racists on Twitter for making fun of them over this.

I heard Stormy picked out Bojangles as tonights dinner spot, cannot confirm however

We ain't stopped dunking on them yet

Canes=Baron Davis
Canadiens=Andrei Kirilenko

 

[BB88]

Yeah he did. He signed a contract with them. He likes playing for us too.

IF he was told, as it's claimed by Carolina they match any offer he receives signing this one doesn't necessary mean he wanted to play elsewhere.

By the rumours he was never asking crazy money and just signed a contract he felt was fair and got it over with. Getting into Nylander situation can't be fun.

This feels similar to Pasta deal.

(but I still say, with all the best for Carolina moving forward this shouldn't have had to com to this).

 

[geehaad]

It would be so fitting and like this .org to be like well damn we had all intentions to matching but the paperwork got lost. Something stupid like that.

Ya know, I can understand taking a “what can go wrong will go wrong” mentality and wanting to be cautious with the fragile gem, but what are you going about, here? This organization has a history of botching administrative tasks...?

I don’t like that Aho felt he had to result to an offer sheet to keep this from dragging out until after training camp. Glad to have him back.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

IT IS TIME TO VENTURE FORTH THE MAIN BOARDS AND PROTECT THOSE WHO SEEK VENGEANCE.

FEAR US BITCHES

They were so certain too

There were people on this board making the same accusation despite zero evidence of it actually happening.

Playing the victim and the bully at the same time. It's super interesting, from a purely psychological perspective.

 

[Dishface]

Did people really think we wouldnt match?!?!?

I feel like this is about the 5 millionth time it's been said, but the disagreement during negotiations was never about the amount of money, but the amount of years.

Sebastian saw Matthews get that 5 year term and wanted the same. He's smart enough to know in 5 years that he'll be worth a hell of a lot more than 8.5 million.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

After the press conference they had a day or two afterwards, it'd have been REALLY surprising. I was just more worried about something going wrong with the process that would have caused us to miss the deadline.

Coming in peace,

We've been waiting a very long time to get a player like this, and the closest we've come is an offer sheet.

Great player, great contract, very jealous. Nice to read some different perspectives from you guys.

All in good fun. See you "bunch of jerks" at the rink.
