dlbalr 1048 Posted July 1, 2019 1st, 2nd, and 3rd would be the compensation at that rate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCHabnut 378 Posted July 1, 2019 Are the signing bonuses a tax thing? What's the advantage? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

BCHabnut 378 Posted July 1, 2019 The owner may not be happy to habs over that 11.3 lump sum right away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

REV-G 35 Posted July 1, 2019 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDriveFor25 59 Posted July 1, 2019 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the moment it's just an unsigned offer sheet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No trade option remains - if they match, they can't deal him for a year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trizzak 1190 Posted July 1, 2019 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
