Confirmed with Link: Canes officially match l'offre hostile from MTL for Aho

[Novacane]

There were so many good quotes from Dundon today, I’m not sure which was best

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Tom Dundon to the Canadian media today:

 

[Svechhammer]

boom roasted

Lol f***ing hell, Tom... They have families!

 

[Bub]

So when't the going out of business sale?

 

[tarheelhockey]

I am sitting at my desk trying so hard not to laugh out loud at these quotes.

This is why a young(ish) hot shot billionaire buys a sports franchise. So when someone steps to him and tries to take his toy, he can have that moment of walking into a room with the media waiting and absolutely dunking all over them.

 

[FreshSeabass]

This is a life lesson on why you don't f*** with people who have f*** you money.

 

[Svechhammer]

This whole day is like the best drug ever. I just can't get enough of this. Watching our organization openly dunk on the Canadian media is just... Oh this is fun

 

[Kiekura]

Dundon when people actually were thinking he wouldn't pay to keep Aho.

 

[Canes]

AND THE MONTREAL FANS GO HOME DEVASTATED!

The salt and their tears sustain me.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Sure Robo, i get it. It's only i'd like an agent more Carolina friendly than Habs friendly. I get it, it's his job but...c'mon...pretty clear out of Dundon mouth.

This agent was Aho friendly. That's his job.

 

[FreshSeabass]

No team for QC. No pesce for the Leaves. Now no Seabass for the Habs. Whos next on the canadia heartbreak tour?

 

[MinJaBen]

Someone needs to put Dundon's face on this one after the conference call...

 

[Kiekura]

Someone needs to put Dundon's face on this one after the conference call...

And The one where he sniffs money

 

[Navin R Slavin]

It wasn't even a poison pill. It was more like a mildly-irritating pill.

May cause drowsiness.

 

[Incubajerks]

This agent was Aho friendly. That's his job.

i get it!! Let's monitor when it will be an Habs player and one of his client instead of Aho to renew a contract.

 

[raynman]

Waiting patiently to listen to this conference call once I get off work later this evening.

 

[FreshSeabass]

Here you go boys

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I'd honestly be shocked if we don't offer sheet Kotkaniemi when the time comes. Except Dundon will have two full years to calculate how to make it hurt as much as possible.

Unless, of course, Bergevin panics and signs him to a ludicrous deal to prevent it. In which case, win/win.

 

[DougieSmash]

Something from Aho yet?

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

Here you go boys

Bless you.

 

[Roboturner913]

Oh, they are mad. They are SO mad.

This is wonderful

 

[Barkkonen]

Yeah this is very necessary move to make. Sends message that bad shit happens when you try to rob this team. Big words after announcing you match don't mean a thing. Concrete counter offersheet is how you make Big markets pay attention.

 

[Svechhammer]

Mmmmm the spin zone where now we're the biggest losers of this event

goodness, this just keeps getting more fun

A summary of the past 24 hours between Carolina and Montreal:

Don't f*** with a guy who has 'f*** you' money.

The flexing on the media during the presser is the least of their worries. As long as we can stay far enough under the cap, he has the means to seriously f*** their situation up in the coming years if he wants to.
