Confirmed with Link: Carolina Officially Matches Habs' Offer Sheet for Aho

[ProspectsSTC]

God knows why he didn't go 10.5

 

[Runner77]

This is going to be like the Washington Nationals wearing Expos jerseys yesterday.

Once a year, we'll remember how Aho was a Hab for 6 days.

 

[habsfan891]

Tell that to Price if we miss playoffs this season

I fully expect to miss playoffs unless MB makes a huge move we have the same team as last year and everyone else in the east barring Colombus got a whole lot better

 

[OnTheRun]

are you telling me the 120 pages worth of "lol why haven't they signed it yet something is fishy" were for NOTHING!?

But they wrote "officially" all in cap in the middle of a sentence... Something is up I'm telling ya.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

God knows why he didn't go 10.5

I don't think it would have made a difference in the end. We'll never really know though obviously.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

God knows why he didn't go 10.5

Because he would be an idiot if he did.

 

[ottawa]

God knows why he didn't go 10.5

Why would anyone go 10.5 on Aho lol

 

[ProspectsSTC]

I don't think it would have made a difference in the end. We'll never really know though obviously.

Better to cost them 10.5 against the cap than 8.5 in that case.

Because he would be an idiot if he did.

How so?

 

[Runner77]

And now, a retaliatory OS on Hudon, incoming.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Man, I'm surprised they didn't wait another day.

Not sure if that's the joke, but today was the last day they could do it.

 

[Goldenhands]

I have to say Im totally shocked...

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Why would anyone go 10.5 on Aho lol

Yeah he's only a 21 year old elite PPG two-way center, I've got like 6 in my backyard

 

[Adam Michaels]

God knows why he didn't go 10.5

I think he was also making sure he would leave himself room to sign everyone else who's contracts are coming up in the next few years.

And by being cautious for his own situation, he wasn't aggressive enough for this offer sheet.

He signed a contract for 8.5m, there's his value for you.

10.5 is a gross overpayment, I fail to see how this can be debated based on his agents ask, Carolina's initial offer and our offer.

He should have just traded Byron , lekhonen and armia if it happened

Dude has no vision

 

[DXStriker]

Now ... Onto Laine !

 

[holy]

We didn't need him anyways, Benedict Arnold headass.

Time to upset our way to the Cup boys, yayayayaya.

 

[Runner77]

Bergevin wanted to get his name associated with a rare CBA option before he gets fired.

Mission accomplished.

 

[SnapVirus]

Good. Our picks are now available again. Whats next?

Shhh...logic and facts don't belong in a ZOMG LOLZ thread, it ruins the moment.

 

[Viggo Mortensen]

Until Aho receives his bonus check, I wont believe it.

 

[The Great Weal]

That's terrible planning. You don't worry about keeping your secondary pieces when you can improve your chance of getting a primary piece.

Gross overpayment is what's required if you wanna poach a RFA away

That's why it's only worked once in recent history with Dustin f***ing Penner
