Easy match, actually a decent value.

Easy match in terms of overall quantum, not so easy to cover the front loaded aspect of the offer: the first year bonus is $11.3M and the second year bonus is $9.87M plus an $700K annual salary-- that's about $22M over the next two years.

And of course if Carolina matches, Montreal will still have all that money and more plus cap space to offer sheet Marner.

If you like Marner as a Leaf, you better hope Montreal gets Aho one way or the other.

So because they OS Aho and they dont get it they immediately OS Marner at a rate we can't absorb? Lol right.
 
It is highly doubtful you get an RFA with a reasonable contract offer no matter how you structure it.
 
If you were a conspiracy theorist, you might think that Bergevin is doing a bunch of teams a big favour that he may have been encouraged to do.

Thoughts that make you go hmmmmmm. He certainly didnt do tge RFA's any favours except gettibg Aho to UFA status in 5 years.
 
Everyone is talking about the bonus money, just cause Carolina is cheap doesn't mean they can't afford it. Owner is a billionaire, they'd be stupid to lose a guy like Aho for that crappy return.

No but that's where the Canes were vulnerable. Habs didnt go big enough and they will match easy. I love this offer sheet. It sets the market somewhat.
 
Have to throw a big thank you to Bergevin here. Helps throw cold water on Darren Dreger Ferris's plans.  Dreger has been quite sullen all day on tv.
 
Good on Montreal and Aho on actually using a tool so few teams/GMs are unwilling to use.

Easy match for Carolina.  This is a great value deal for them.  But if they are too stupid and/or cheap to match it, then a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for Aho is an absolute steal.

For sure. This is a win for the GM's. The kid puts up a point per game, scored 30 goals without any wingers. He's also a centre, kills penalties had 4 shorties and 7 gwg last year. The kid is a star.

They're matching. This deal just let's Aho get to UFA quicker. On their Twitter account they have a poll. Will the Canes match? And the choices are...YES and OUI.....lol
