EMELINATOR 8 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 It’s happening! But that has to be matched, no? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dlbalr 1179 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 1st, 2nd, and 3rd would be the compensation at that rate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dalhabs 109 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 What is the chance they not matching? Slim to none? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BCHabnut 396 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Are the signing bonuses a tax thing? What's the advantage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dalhabs 109 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Maybe if canes match we go for Marner? Quote 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BCHabnut 396 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The owner may not be happy to habs over that 11.3 lump sum right away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BCHabnut 396 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Haha. Answered my own question after 3 others do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
REV-G 35 Posted July 1, 2019 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

TheDriveFor25 62 Posted July 1, 2019 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

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

It's a signed offer sheet. No trade option remains - if they match, they can't deal him for a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trizzak 1269 Posted July 1, 2019 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
