"there are a ton of scenarios that could also play out or not play out at all"

lmao, why even bother tweeting?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Just don't trade him for a Skinner-like return. He has value as an own rental.

 

[Wolfpuck]

I don't want to wait, for our lives to be over...

Gotta cover her ass for when not a single thing happens

 

[Lempo]

We should post 'shops of Faulk to this thread.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Yawn.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Why does this merit its own thread now when it's been true for like 2 years? Because LeBrun says it on draft day?

 

[Svechnicanes]

Uhhh

Nick kypreos is on NHL Network radio right now saying dundon is penny pinching and ahos current offer is 8yr 6mil per.

If that's remotely true, we might not have a team next year.

 

[FreshSeabass]

Kypreos is literally a well known hack i wouldn't believe him.

 

[Svechnicanes]

He's insinuating that none of the other RFAs are getting offer sheeted but that the other NHL teams are eyeing up Aho for offer sheet

Same message as last year with Lindy and Hani

Yeah. Before that the only one that had said Faulk was unhappy and wanted out was BBA...

 

[My Special Purpose]

My impression honestly is that he's just not GM material. He flubbed the Nylander negotiations, he seems to not be handling Marner well, he makes promises everybody knows he can't keep which makes him seem untrustworthy. He's so inflexible as to be unable to make a trade that betters his team. He makes terrible offers to rival the most mediocre of the trade board, then seemingly is leaking to the media to justify his offers.

He seems like a clown over his head. He was a guy I wanted for us when we fired RF; we dodged a bullet.

I agree with all this, and add that I think he really showed his uselessness with the Matthews deal and not Nylander. There's simply *no* reason to give an RFA that big a contract unless you're buying out multiple UFA seasons. None. McDavid's deal was four RFA seasons and four UFA seasons, and it was only fractionally bigger.

Yeah this is the first time I feel it could actually happen in a hurry, it's playing out the same as last draft

Then he simply doesn't understand how offer sheets work. Offer sheet him. We will match it and all will be fine. It would be a total waste of time for other teams to "eye up" and try to offer sheet Aho. He's not going anywhere. All they will be doing is helping us sign our own player. And GMs understand this, which is why it won't happen.

Kypreos thinks the players being "lowballed" makes them vulnerable. It doesn't. The guys who are vulnerable are the ones who's teams are up against the cap. We're not. Aho isn't going anywhere.

I'm frankly exhausted by the "penny pinching" narrative. Kypreos is just enjoying piling on. He's got no info and he's being a dick.

Just think about how much money we could save by replacing him with someone on an ELC though!!!

No reason at all to trade him for futures but unfortunately that's what will probably happen.

I hope the Kapanen to Carolina talks finally die this weekend, and I never have to hear that nonsense again.

When was the last time Kypreos was relevant and not just talking out of his ass? Never?

This offseason, given what the payroll will be if things are maintained, is going to tell us a lot in terms of how financially committed Dundon is. I can give him a pass for the low 60s payroll last year, but if he goes barebones after the success they had, I'll be nervous about this team's ability to compete moving forward.

 

[Brock Anton]

I feel like if the offer were that low, we'd have heard all about that by now and there possibly would've been a trade request already.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Either sign a reasonable deal or you're gone? I don't know how to deal with responsible Hurricanes management. This is new and new is scary.

I should have known from the moment that I bought the jersey 27 was doomed. DOOMED.
