But if they are referring to $21M of just tickets that doesn't include media, merchandise, and other revenue streams.

Hurricanes made $109M in revenue in 2017-2018 and that was with no playoffs. Exactly and that statement from Waddell made it sound like they have already made up their mind.

Where are you getting this "gate revenue" from? The Hurricanes owner is a billionaire I don't think $21M affects him much. They have continued to say they will match any offer on Aho...we will see if they stay true to their word. Waddell just had a press conference and said probably won't match immediately and may wait out the 7 days so Montreal can't sign anyone else.

I will gladly take Aho on that deal.

Tell Montreal thanks

Their owner spent $250 Million last year on a startup football league and closed it down a month later (think he was after the technology). He has plenty of money to spend. Also, why does it seem like they are poor?

They can't deal with it? Where is this coming from I'm pretty sure they could handle that if they needed to.

Would be interesting to hear who his "sources" are that give him his information

I don't think his has ever stuck though

Agree, just threw me off haha

This is Eklund's favorite time of the year.......just throw anything out there and people who don't know any better run wild with it.

Marleau is gone

If they really want to have any chance with an offer sheet it needs to be for Marner or Point. Supposedly Marner and Leafs were discussing a contract extension yesterday...either a 3 year or 5 year.

Exactly, the Hurricanes have already said they will match any offer sheet presented to Aho. From what I have read is that they are close in salary (around $9M-$9.5M per) the sticking point is the term. Hurricanes wanted 8 years and Aho only wanted 5 years. I also read that basically any team that has called Aho's agent is that he immediately told them that Aho likes Carolina and doesn't want to leave.

I believe Pavelski was $7M per Hurricanes are probably looking to go with Mrazek or Lehner. Panarin is down to three teams...Florida, Islanders, and Rangers. I believe I read if it is Florida it will come in around $11M if it is either NY team it will be around $12.5M

Yeah...seems a bit much. I believe Lee initially asked the Islanders for 7 years $7M per....and now he is a free agent.

If so that’s a good contract for Duchene.

This face from the player should tell you your answer...

Exactly! No complaints here haha

Be ready for Duchene to the Preds. Needed to clear some cap space which they did.

Love that trade for the Canes

Please don’t. I can’t stand that about the NBA and MLB. If anything, continue to raise the salary cap but maintain a hard cap.

7 years $7M per

Was just getting ready to ask the same question about if Karlsson is ownable in our leagues with that contract. I know I dumped Doughty in a league because I didn't want to pay him $11M/year.

All I can think about is Gudas and Wilson on the ice at the same time....
