    Huge deal for the Leafs.  Kadri and Rosen for Barrie and Kerfoot.  I like it.  I knew something else was coming, whether it meant Kadri going, or even Nylander, Kappy or Johnsson.  Down side is Barrie is on final year of contract taking him to free agency.  AAV right now 5.5 v Kadri at 4.5.  Will miss Kadri but when you miss multiple games via suspension in your team’s first round playoff series twice in a row it is time to go.  

    Your wrong barrie aav is 2.75.  You guys just rob th3 avs

    I don’t know if the teams are locked out from trading or not.  Surely the player would have to agree to any trade as he has signed the offer sheet.  Early indications are certainly that the Canes will match.  So if it was a real play to secure the player it seems destined to fail and the Habs are in limbo for a week.  Very strange.  hope someone offer sheets Marner a similar deal.  The only negative for Canes is the 5 year term.  I’m sure they would like longer.

    The limbo here is a non factor tho as no decent ufa are availble unless someone value jake the mistake gardiner at 7m+ and all other offersheet candidate prolly will still b there

    Habs, why even bother.  Sure to be matched.  Sorry I don’t get it.  

    I have Aho on my GNFL team and I am happy about this though.

    they banking on  canes not beeing able to afford  the  bonuses, or  they had some  talk about  trading for aho and bergevin  upped  the ante with a pressure  offersheet, whats unclear is  if  they can  actualy trade  in those  7  days ( montreal and  canes)  or   is this  locked out  as well for them

     

    Great capewise  cap hit  thats for SURE

    So part of the $21M now and part on July 1, 2020

    something like 12m  this week and 10m  in 12 month + the fact  that this is  his structure

    usly if im not mistaken players  are paid  in 3  separate  date yearly  of those   check some of it  is  held in escrow ( a substantial  amount  btw thats  why toews  came out in the media about it , somehting like 30% is beeing held out)

    Signing  bonus are  exempt  of escrow  and  are  paid in  1  swoop  on july 1st of  every year

    out of the  42.45m contract over  5 years,  3.5m are  actually  paid ( 3x a  year  x 5 years ) so in  15 payments,  the rest (~ 39m) are pure  Fat  checks every  1st of  july starting  today( in 5  days)

    Bergevin is funny saying that Aho wants to be in Montreal. He may but part of me thinks Aho signed it because the Canes weren’t offering the salary he wanted and this got him there and he also preferred a 5 year deal to a 7/8 year deal. Also, this sets up Aho nicely with a potential lockout coming up because I believe he would still receive bonus money during the lockout just not salary.

     the question is  do you want anderslee  at 9m ? or gardiner at 7.5?

    Good question but I think they made it very clear from the beginning they would match any offer and it's not like they are in salary cap trouble and can't match it.

    still think the issue  is  the actual bucket of  money, not the aav,  if  montreal thinks carolina are  cheapos i mean thats  the only angle  that make  sense

    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.

    makes  no  sense to not match,  but why  offersheet someone if  you dont have a chance to get him

    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.

    tsn  reported  on the Gate  revenu  thing,  and yeah they should   wait 7 days for  the answer, so i basicly  the canes  are  holding that 8m  cap space  and draft pick so mtl cant do anything for a week

    Interesting, point Veg. Maybe there’s something to this, then. Like I’ve been saying for years now, Marc Bergevin is a brilliant strategist. Hope this works out!

     is there  rule  against negotiating the compensation  during the 7 day period ?  like  if mtl said hey look will give u   drouin on top of  the 1st 2nd and 3rd

    Interesting but not enough, even accounting for Mrs. Kotkaniemi’s delicious home cooking. 

    were all  caught up in the AAV , but thats not the point here,  caroline doesnt care about AAV, but 21m  is exactly  the  gate revenu they took in  last year.  Bergevin cant br throwing out  an offer like that if  he thinks its going to be an instant  snap match
