Confirmed with Link: Hurricanes to match Canadiens' offer sheet for Aho

[Tuggy]

Will never understand the reasoning behind this tbqh...at least make it something Carolina would have a hard time matching

What a mess.

Yup, they were always going to match.

If he's going to go the offersheet route, then at least go up the next tier.

2 1sts for Aho is perfectly fine.

 

[1909]

Gonna wait the seven days to make it official so Bergy has his picks frozen lol

No, As soon as Canes sign the deal with Aho, Habs are free to shop elsewhere. Ad their owner said he would do it today !

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

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

this

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I love how they put FIVE YEARS in caps.

It’s going to take them 5 years to make up that bonus money in revenue.

 

[FlatIron]

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.

Big time, I mean he almost had me and I'm a huge FireBergy fan.

 

[muzion]

Bergevin got mad no free agents want to sign here and set the league on fire. Problem is he needed more fuel.

What a mess.

Seriously if they wanted Aho offer him 10 mil or more.Just a look we tried stunt.More excuses same old crap.

 

[The Real Timo]

Bergevin's press conference: "We tried and put a good offer. We really thought they wouldn't match. It's not a Playstation. Making trades is hard".


Argh... i'm just bitter.

 

[1909]

How the **** can they act like it's a win and they are the one who did all kf this? What a bunch of laughable clowns.

And now MB, offer sheet Point or Marner. Do it.

Leafs and Bolts are way richer than Canes, and will equal any offer Habs would do, even the highest.

 

[lillypad33]

Do the 10.4 for Point... Why not?
And Carolina... Went wouldn't they wait until the deadline?

 

[FlatIron]

What's your Plan B Bergy?

 

[Tyson]

Yep it’s time to go earn a living. Can’t sit here and try and enjoy being a fan of this once respected organization!

 

[eklund the clown]

He had the fuel.He didn't use it

 

[Milhouse40]

Gardiner incoming...

I hope he has something else up his sleeves cause i senses something else incoming:

 

[prairie hab]

He sold you on the "trying" thing. That was the whole point.

And if he didn’t put the offer sheet forward, 99% of posters here would have whined and cried about not being active on July 1st. I’ve been around here a long time, I know how this place works....

 

[Dannyhab]

But they havne't officially matched it yet. Hopefully MB can entice them by sending them Kotkaniemi in exchange for a 2nd rounder and they don't match. And yes that's worth it.

 

[Clearedwaivers]

Wow!! That didn't take long. It's as if they didn't even have to think about it.

 

[26Mats]

Gardiner incoming...

Why go get Subban on his 3 year deal for two 2nds (which is basically Shaw and Byron) when you can get Jake Mr. Playoffs Gardiner for 7. It's not like PK was good in the playoffs and rose to the occasion in big games.

Oh wait.

 

[Braun]

What would be hilarious is they said they’d intend to match but didn’t by the deadline to f*** with Bergevin haha

 

[DXStriker]

Well that was not a shock and now everyone is laughing at it lol

I feel like this was all one big practical joke

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

What are “fefans”?

means braindead fans

 

[The Nightman]

What's your Plan B Bergy?

He never even had a plan A... let’s be honest

 

[Archijerej]

Now we'll see how Bergevin intends to replace Shaw's production and role on Domi's line. It will say a lot about his ability to follow several plots simultaneously. As of today, we're weaker then we were at the end of last season. Ferland?

 

[Habaneros]

easy come easy go...for now....

Aho July1st ,you'll never be forgotten.,.,never

Will leave a light on for ya,.


LOL

One notes the lack of proposed alternatives from the besserwissers who were so above it all.
