I think it's a take it or leave it situation. Everything is in limbo until the Jerks make a call. Likely another reason we don't see a lot of offer sheets. Seven days is an eternity.

maas_art Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Does anybody know if there's a rule that we can now negotiate a trade with Carolina instead? The deal, fwiw is 5 years, $42.27 so you would think Carolina would easily match that but they are cheap so... compensation wont be bad at all if they dont. It was a very smart play for the rich habs though: $21m at signing as a bonus. Can Carolina cough up that much all at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does tie our hands because you can't use the same picks to offer sheet somebody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_T_L Posted July 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 They can trade him in a year but by then they will have paid him 21 mill in bonus money if they chose to match. Still not sure that's a big enough deterrent to take the picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Carolina cough up that much all at once? EDIT: its $21m in the first calendar year, not all at once but still a lot. It seems very odd. All the analysts are certain Carolina will match but then why make the offer? The team has to think they have a legit shot of Carolina not matching. MB said he talked to their GM as recently as this morning. This is going to be very interesting to watch play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted a serious one if we were going that route. Not sure this qualifies as serious. I think it's an easy match personally. We had the room the picks and the money to beef that offer up. Let's hope there's still meat on the bone in seven days to chew on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsisme Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 reading the Carolina boards, there is a sense Aho doesn't want to be there "will not be face of franchise" They make a good point, and MB stressed it in his interview "Aho wants to be here" *fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
