Confirmed with Link: Finnish Aho signs offer sheet from Finnish Montreal (5 years, $8.54M AAV) - Part 2 (Mod warning #1)

[HomaridII]

This will end up in them not matching and then trading us our picks for prospects. Watch.

 

[overlords]

"Get up on out of here with my Aho!"

I'm the only one who's allowed to have Ahos

 

[Treb]

They will match

According to underpaid interns with no inside info?

 

[Rockomax]

This is what flexing your financial muscles looks like.

We are one of the most profitable teams in the NHL, nice to see us acting like it.

Agreed. We are disadvantaged on the income tax front, others have and use their advantage, why not us?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

According to underpaid interns with no inside info?

Intern that could lose his job if they dont match it.
Habs social media have more class

 

[Spring in Fialta]

It’ll be matched, but it’s a good warning to other teams to watch out.

Hope Bergevin offer sheets Point next

Warning, balls...this is all meaningless. We're stuck with nothing. No improvements.

They can have Drouin.

 

[Whitesnake]

Just feels like a big smokescreen. Especially with Bergie's "Message to our fans: we are trying" statement.

"Get up on out of here with my Aho!"

Word has it we gave Dubas a quiver with our Aho.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

What happens when a player signs an offer sheet?
The player must give his team notice of the offer sheet and histeam then has seven days to determine if it wants to match the terms. The player cannot be traded in that seven-day period.

Contract offer sheet questions, answers


The teams can still make side trades to even out compensation.

 

[Habaneros]

I dont even care if we get him

...this is payback for the after game celly they did vs Habs..lmao

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Just feels like a big smokescreen. Especially with Bergie's "Message to our fans: we are trying" statement.

I said the same thing immediately once I saw the offer was only for 8.45M

Yeah, gotta say that threw up some flags for me.

 

[JianYang]

If what I heard was accurate, and the first payment of bonus is 5 days after the contract, then I also wonder how revenue sharing works.

When does Carolina get its revenue sharing funds, and how big is it? Or I guess they could simply get a short term loan from the bank too, if required.

 

[jj cale]

Gonna be a tense 7 days.

 

[The Real Timo]

After Caroline matches Bergevin will end up with picks and an AHLer as his haul. He will say that trading is hard and organization has a plan. Molson will send season tickets renewals (up 20%) next week.

 

[Murky]

You should be thinking Connor, Laine next.

Offersheet Connor first for a very high deal. Watch Winnipeg match. Then Laine and watch Winnipeg wonder about cap space

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

If they match I hope MB does the same thing with every other prime RFA until he gets one. What does he have to lose at this point, if he ends up empty handed again and we miss the playoffs for the third year in a row he's fired within the next year. Might as well burn a few bridges and go all in.

We are a marvelously jaded bunch.

Don't do this to yourself. I don't think I remember a team being more blatant about the fact that they'll match. This is over.

 

[waffledave]

They keep saying they will match but why haven't they?

 

[Gaston Gingras]

oh! well, no sleep for me for the next 7 days

 

[Whitesnake]

Man, what a great day.

I Just don't get that....it will be a great day if they don't sign.

 

[Murky]

That would be too good to be true, unfortunately. However, it is a nice thought. Aho at 8.5 AAV for five years is highway robbery.

 

[NewEraGM]

Why are people crucifying MB here? At worst, Carolina matches and we lose.....nothing !! And we gave ourselves at least a chance of getting a great player. Like I don’t know how people are pissed here ..
