bobbyg43 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Cash bonus 21 million straps them down.due September ? i don’t think they can match it right now Montreal has 12 picks in next draft this was total stealth. I have a new respect for Habs GM Edited July 1, 2019 by bobbyg43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would cost the Canucks a 2nd and Demko just to get rid of Loui and Sutter. So basically Boeser for Aho. Carolina says no 9.9 times out of 10. I guess people missed the part this year where it cost the leafs a 1st rd pick yo get rid of Marleau. I guess we’re special though, everyone loves the Canucks and wants to give them a great deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one of them would be lying if they say they wouldn’t sign a deal with those kind of bonuses. Carolina will match anyways. They’re more likely going to be happy that they won’t lose their star player. They lose too much money to make it a slam dunk they match imo, I see them walking on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Love the low risk swing the Habs are taking here, but glad they didn't go up a tier. I don't want to watch my second favourite player play for the Habs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 2 minutes ago, Habs4Life said: Not sure if Carolina should be mad at Montreal or should be thanking them. They should match that offer sheet easily. The upfront cash might be too much for Carolina, and the compensation is nothing for Aho. If I am Carolina I am furious, unless the money is nothing. The cap hit is reasonable for Aho but for a cash strapped team the deal does Carolina no favors. Very strategic move by Montreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did not play more than 10 games in his first year, because of that he is not eligible for arbitration and he can not be offersheeted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosmo Kramer Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Dirty move by Canadiens in my opinion, but its within the rules. Gonna be sad for Carolina if they don't have to cash to pay the signing bonus. That said, if Aho is signing for 8, hopefully we can get Boeser inked at 7ish. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've made tremendous progress re-establishing a connection with their fanbase this year. Letting their best player walk because of a hefty signing bonus would not be a good look for them. It will absolutely hurt their pocketbook but it's still better than the cost of letting Aho walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 1 minute ago, Habs4Life said: Not sure if Carolina should be mad at Montreal or should be thanking them. They should match that offer sheet easily. He becomes UFA after 5 yrs. They will match. No team would let a player like Aho go for peanuts. 20+ mill in 1st year. Other teams will do him favour for waiting 7 days to match so their players don't get offer sheets. Likely throw him a bone at trade deadline give him a good deal in a trade. Bergevin will be black listed. He's not going to have an easy time making trades moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance is silly, $21mil is A LOT to a cash poor team like the Canes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny in Vancouver Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 8 minutes ago, qwijibo said: If Carolina matches they potentially have a locker room issue now. How will Aho’s teammates feel about him signing with another team? Lots of players have been offer-sheeted and had no issues: Webber, Ohlund, etc. Carolina should have just given him what he was asking for from the get-go. But I still think Carolina matches because he's their best player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
