JUST NOW:

Hurricanes to match Canadiens' offer sheet for Aho

This story was confirmed the moment the terms of the offer sheet came out.

Good we dodged Lee
Mission accomplished

I'm not a vengeful person by nature. But I'm going to enjoy seeing Lee's albotross take over for Ladd's when Ladd retires and Lee's in the last 3 years of his contract.

Only fefans thought it was a possibility. It fact, no one in the hockey business, journalists, other gms, insiders, knowledgables hockey fans, etc. thought MTL would win this with that absurd offer sheet.

It smelled like it was orchestrated. Smoke-screen.

Marc Bergevin has the best PR team in the universe.

 

[eklund the clown]

Well on to the next RFA

 

[Le Tricolore]

I'll put it as "RUMOR" until it's official. Sucks

 

[NHL]

No. Surprise.

What are “fefans”?

 

[CoopersFalls]

Just came here to say what we already know. Bergevin was a joke. That offer sheet was a joke.

Hope he does something before the summer is out. If this is the roster we ice in October, that’s ludicrous.

[MasterDecoy]

A most shocking development

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Didn't see that coming.

Onto Point I guess.

 

[MasterDecoy]

f***. So I guess it’s official then

Balls

 

[Saundies]

Predictable result. Let's see if MB has any concrete plans to improve this team.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Now go take Clarkson as cap dump and tank this year.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I'll put it as "RUMOR" until it's official. Sucks

There we go

We are are lucky to have people like you who can see through the lies.

 

[Hfbsux]

I love how they put FIVE YEARS in caps.

Unless MB sign a guy like Ferland or a trade just cone out of his hat, that's the team we will start with.

I'm ok with it, Poehling and Juulsen will play a full season, I'm fine.

 

[max21]

So what does the Canes cap look like after they resign him

 

[1909]

Aho is the BIG winner. Congrats to his agent who used Bergevin as toilet paper.....

Evidently. Do you think if we offersheet Mitch Marner to 9M$ the Leafs wouldnt accept? It was a smoke-screen.

Marc Bergevin's plan was Matt Duchene. He missed. He sent an offersheet to Aho, knowingly that they would match. Only to look "good" in front of the fans. He said it himself at his press conference : It sends a message to the players and the fans : we are trying.

You know what? I bet 100K that he called Waddell the morning to let him know his plan : I'll send you a OS, but don't worry, its a friendly deal, that you could match. But I need to do it, to keep my job (because i need to do what's best for the Mtl Canadiens). Waddell didnt looked pissed at all during his Press Conference, in fact, he looked like someone who wanted to laugh.

Yeah MB tries. But he has not results.

 

[Tyson]

Of all the offer sheets over the years this had to be the easiest to match.

The Habs organization has become what Wayne Gretzky once called the New Jersey Devils- “a Mickey Mouse organization”

Too bad they traded Shaw too early, and the only muscle guy we had to play on the 4th, DeLo.
