Maybe he does. Maybe we have a Panarin/Tavares situation in four or five years and he just wants to play in a different type of city/environment. There is nothing we can do about it if that is true. But I'm sure he will give us everything he can in the time he remains here.
Cross that bridge when we get there.

My spouse and her friend both have, unconnected to each other, been made a victim of hair-raising real-life conspiracies that you can't even start to open when disbelieving eyes already start rolling.
That kind of crap does actually happen in the real world. There are groups of evil people out there deliberately choosing to screw you over just because they think they can.
aho wasn't on the call yesterday because he was on his way to the airport to catch a plane to rdu for a press conference where dundon will present him the signing bonus in cash.
dundon is hoping aho doesn't realize only the top layers are hundred dollar bills and the rest are coupons for buy two get one free bumblebee tuna at winn-dixie.

Anyway I kind of miss myself from two days back when I wanted to subscribe for Premium Agency because Free Agency was so boring.
'twas one of them 'be careful' thingies apparently.

Tom Dundon is so cheap his players have to beg Sebastian Aho to pay for a decent meal
Unsustainable
Seth Jarvis has Big Kahunas
Aho is too busy trying to sell his house in Montreal.

If he prices himself out of what the team can pay based on the first 4 years of the deal, I guess you could say he was worth it and you deal him for a haul the summer before year 5. (I think I saw somewhere that by matching the OS, CAR would not have to abide by any NMC/NTC in the original contract offered by MTL. This seems a bit off though, since I’ve also read that by matching an OS, the matching team is also beholden to all the facets of the original deal...) Based on his contract structure and the fact he’ll still have a few years left of prime production left, he should be a very attractive piece. You just have to hope that your own drafted prospects pan out at C (Necas/Suzuki/Geekie, etc.) so he can be internally replace, if it comes to that.

The answer is obvious. It's the same reason I stayed in N.C. when I came here to play baseball for N.C. State. We need to find him a nice Carolina girl and he's ours forever. For his sake, I hope she doesn't turn out to be batshit crazy, but that's a story for another time. Anybody got any ideas?

Canadian dollar won’t cover the taxes on it though. Poor investment

In all the BS on the Trade and MTL board Aho threads, I came across one post on one of the threads on the MTL board that made a shit-ton of sense in regards to how much cash Dundon will have to front:
Basically, 1 week after the OS is matched, $11M up front bonus due/$700K base for a total of $12M next season. Taking the Canes last reported offer of $7.5M as baseline of sorts, by the end of next season, prior to 7/1/20, the amount of cash out of pocket for Dundon based on the OS vs what they wanted to pay him anyway is 4.5M. (This assumes that Dundon can recoup his upfront investment with the revenue from normal operating income during the year that would normally be allocated to Aho’s salary were it structured like most of he team’s other contracts)
7/1/20 rolls around, another $9M bonus due and $700K base for a total of around $10M or so for the 20-21 season. So roll that forward using the same logic as above, and Dundon is only out of pocket $2.5M (at the end of the 20-21 season) in more than they wanted to pay him anyway. The kicker here is the potential lockout. If there’s a lockout, $9M still due. So without that season’s revenue, that’s where the pain could really be felt. But, all other teams structuring their contracts the same way will feel that pain.
So no lockout, first 2 years of deal projected deal, Dundon is only paying $7M more than he wanted to. Assuming a lockout, that jumps up to $13.5M with no revenues throughout the season to recoup the signing bonus $$$ that must be fronted.
The Seattle expansion fee will net every franchise but Vegas $20M or more. So even with the worst case scenario, Dundon still nets over $6M after the expansion fee, and you get 3 more years of Aho on a team friendly deal.
(Hopefully I didn’t butcher the original idea and that makes sense)
