BCHabnut Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I sort of agree with button. I think Carolina will match it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Would the picks all be in the same year? Are they next year's picks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right ... but at the moment they have neither matched nor declined to match. I didn't see any rule for this situation. Did I miss it?

hab29RETIRED Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Bergevin finally did something i wanted, but I think being Bergevin, he still made the right play but still fxcked it up. Should have offered $9M, would have been costed an extra 1st round pick, but more of a chance that the canes don't match. I can't see the Canes not matching this. I saw a report of offering Poehling and Suzuki and 1st and 2nd picks. I;d be reluctant go give up Poehling and rather give up 2 first picks instead of two players closer to making it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 This doesn't sound good from a Montreal perspective: If they were expecting worse, they're almost sure to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDriveFor25 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 22 minutes ago, illWill said: They would have to add an additional first round pick if it is over 8.5 m per year I understand we’d lose an additional pick, making it even more enticing for them not to match. He’s worth two firsts plus a second and third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're around $12-14 million at the moment. This is for just under $8.5 million so on the off chance this isn't matched, that's probably it for the spending spree as Armia and Lehkonen will get the rest of the remaining money.

REV-G Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Since Carolina has a week to decide, are we in limbo until then since we've committed that amount of money? Does that mean we cannot sign a Jake Gardiner and if Carolina matches we end up losing the opportunity to sign those players? Are we kind of on hold free agent wise until Carolina decides? I still really like this move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Thanks. It seems no D help this year: we signed Sonninen but lost Benn, that's likely a net loss on defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still really like this move. The picks are encumbered but the cap space isn't. In theory, they can still go after Gardiner/Lee/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Canes will likely match but we can hope the owner is too cheap to pay the signing bonus. Sucks that we wait for the week to find out and by then the good free agents will be gone. We can still try and trade for the Dman we need of course. Seems like a strong chance that we get nothing at all but I'm happy MB took the risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, more than angering dumbass GMs and their dumbass ‘code,’ is the real danger in this strategy - you open yourself to retaliatory offer sheets. But none of the Habs’ young talent rivals Aho, so the gamble makes sense in context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Quote Waddell called Aho the team's best player and said the team wants to keep him. He said he couldn't comment on the situation since he'd only been informed of it by the Canadiens roughly 20 minutes before his availability. "I know my summer just got better. I won't have to spend all summer negotiating a contract," Wadell said. "So we'll make a decision on it and move on." The general manager said the AAV offered by the Canadiens was slightly higher than he'd hoped to sign Aho for, though "not of whack." He called the five-year term disappointing for the Hurricanes if they are to match, since the team had hoped to sign Aho to a longer term.

BCHabnut Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 So its Christmas day. My wife just showed me a picture of my brand new ktm 350 that I probably dont get. Not only that, I can't have a Honda 500 either. And I have to wait a week. But if I get it, it's a really good deal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
