olddude Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 According to sources, Carolina got calls from 3 different teams today on Sebastian Aho, hinting at an offer sheet. The 'Canes told them they would match any offer sheet. Carolina did tell them they would entertain trade conversation. Believe that Habs is among 3 teams who called.

habsisme Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 I think the Shaw deal means we're trying to sign but don't have anyone locked up. I would sign Aho anyways. So what if they match. Their owner won't come after us in the future cause they can't afford it. We could have Marner at 12x7. Don't know if its worth it but i don't think Toronto could match that. I would like Lee and Gardiner just not for what they are asking for. If we got BOTH than it would be at the right price and make are team significantly better.... I'm dreaming though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Theodore or tuch or Karlsson. Theodore and Karlsson for mete, lek, Daunault maybe a prospect and a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlsson is their best C, is young ... we don't have the package to offer them to pry him away. And there are times where there is zero chance a team will trade a player. Karlsson is one of those times, it would take a massive overpayment including player(s) nearly as good as him to get Vegas to move him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maas_art Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 with regards to Aho, the rumor seems to indicate that Bergevin has called them & said "look we're going to offer sheet Aho." So Carolina has been very clear they will match anything but if they've been trying to sign him for say $7.5m a year and MB comes in & offers $10m Carolina will match - but be pissed. So Marc Bergevin (if you believe the rumours) is saying "listen, we want Aho, we know you'll match so what if we take him off your hands in a trade instead." The offer is apparently Drouin (as the primary) presumably a prospect and/or pick goes the other way. The offer sheet is used as leverage to make Carolina agree to the deal.

I love Aho, if we get him we'll have our #1 center for years to come. 3 years in the league and look at his trajectory at only 21 http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=174983 and what his production in the playoffs I do believe he played on the wing early in his career but if I'm not mistaken he played C all year this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a winner down the middle. If we did trade Drouin to Carolina, we have enough to then sign Gardiner. Move JK to the wing. THEN we would actually be contenders next year!

If we got those two And who do you lose 2-3 years from now when you can't afford to sign everyone? What if JK has the same trajectory as Aho and puts up 60-70pts this year if we don't sign him? Or Suzuki does 50-60 as a rookie? If Aho was a winger and had produced those numbers on the wing I'd have zero issue with it. I already pointed out in another reply somewhere that Domi and Aho produced similar numbers if ice time and PP were equal. Our need is NOT another C ... it's LD and possibly a top 6 winger.
