Kudos to Bergevin for having the balls to at least try this!

 

? %!! I don’t say this often, but WELL DONE MB ?

 

So does this rule out our signing any UFAs? Because the odds are Aho remains a Hurricane, surely

Are the signing bonuses a tax thing?  What's the advantage?

Low revenue teams/cheap owners hate big signing bonuses because it's a lump sum payment all at once. Some teams don't have that kind of money all at once.

Cash flow. $21.8M in the first year. It hurts if your owner is a cheapskate.

I love this move! 

 

Question. Is Montreal allowed to offer something additional to Carolina, a prospect, to entice them not to match the offer sheet?

So that is a calculated move to stiff the Canes? Quoth Monty Burns: excellent

I wish it was for 9.1 or 9.2.. I know it’s only $500k more but tougher to match.. I’m hoping Canes don’t match but guessing they do.

Caroline could offer to do a trade. At the moment it's just an unsigned offer sheet.

They would have to add an additional first round pick if it is over 8.5 m per year

That would cost another first-round pick.

Nope.  It's a signed offer sheet.  No trade option remains - if they match, they can't deal him for a year.

Drouin - Aho - Gallagher

Domi - Kotkaniemi - Byron

Tatar - Danault - Armia

Lehkonen - Thompson - Weal

 

Poehling, Evans, Suzuki as potential future C's...

 

Habs would rival the rest of the Atlantic division for centre depth with that move.
