I would, just because I know that 1st one will 100% be matched.Cmon Marc fire up that second OS!
They cant right now though. Until the first one is resolved by Carolina submitting their decision to match or not, Montreal's picks are frozen.I would, just because I know that 1st one will 100% be matched.
Yes......so if the Canes were wise they would take the whole week before matching to hinder the Habs from doing other moves bc they don't know if the status of that cap space or picks.......kinda of a FU to the Habs team for trying the offer sheet. In reality Habs did the Canes a favour, it was a pretty weak offer sheet......Canes GM more or else mocked it......& laughed.
I guess he keeps his job!Dreger better be fired from TSN if there isn't a single offer sheet this year.
Yeah they must be pretty happy to pay 21M in bonus in the next 12 months + losing Aho in 5 years when he hit the market.... they must be soooooo glad!!!
Only thing Montreal gets out of this is the appearance of effort to their fan base. Just comes across as a cheap PR stunt.

Plus the salaries of the player's that get bumped off the roster to make room for the RFA signings (they're at 22 players), and plus the LTIR for Hyman and Dermott if it comes to that.

What teams could realistically go after Marner? I would bet that an offer for Marner would be in the 2 1sts + 2nd + 3rd with a crap ton of bonuses and at 10.5 mil (similar to Bergevin Aho deal).
I don't think any team has the balls to OS Marner at the 4 1st overall price point which is what it would take to get it done, much less Sleepy Joe being the one to do it.
and they'll make that all back after one period of selling beer at the ACC
