they signed him to a 2 year NHL contract for $850k per. If they send him to Providence does that remove the entire cap hit from Boston?
All focus continues to be on Boston filling the Providence roster up as well as the 4th line. We're hoping this is to accommodate a trade before the NHL shuts down.
But then there's a hole at C for the Bruins. In a B's-Canes deal centered around Krejci and Aho (more going to the Canes of course), the Bruins would have gotten younger and would have found their future #1C, and the Canes would still remain competitive with Krejci and other young NHL-ready assets.If Carolina doesn’t match, that would leave a big hole at C. Opening for a Krejci trade?
They can't really do anything else right now. Free agency begins for the Bruins when McAvoy signs and/or Backes gets moved. It's going to be a pretty boring off-season until either of those things happen.
@RussellmaniaKW - I don't know about that. Coyle has said several times how much he loves playing for his home town team, he might be persuaded to take less money if that will keep him here.
Can’t Carolina just sit on that offer sheet for a few days and Montreal can’t use the cap space they have allocated to Aho....?
The problem is certainly around deciding value. Guys with his regular season numbers are getting $3m per year. Guys with his playoff numbers are getting +$6m. That's a tough gap to bridge.

Lol Waddell.We intend on having Aho long term.Shocked by offer sheet and that it was not more Might wait through week to match so habs cannot add help why they wait
Ugh Par Lindholm? 1 goal in 67 NHL games last year.
Why does this organization like players who can't put the puck in an ocean?
Joonas Kemppainen wasn't available?
That is basically what he said he is doing as he smirked.The Habs were fighting for the playoffs with the Habs last year. Zero chance they let their best player go to that rival with only picks in return?
Canes GM would be smart to say his decision last hour in 1 week to screw out Habs plans with other possible UFA.
And they’ll stay the 5th best team in division and miss playoffs for a 3rd straight season.
