That's leaving money on the table. That's insane. He should be getting 10M in today's NHL.

He's 21!!!!!

 

[Fitzy]

Does the 5 years take him straight to first-year of UFA eligibility?

If so, that was probably a factor. Guys are wanting to hit the market as young as possible so as to not have the 7 year term scare teams.

Okay, I guess he did sign it then. The original tweet just said that it was tendered. Surprising. Maybe the 5 year term was more important than the 9.5 AAV.

And people don't think good players will be available. Matthews with 5 years. Now Aho. Marner could sign for 5 years or less.

 

[Thirty One]

Wasn't there a note from someone earlier that a $10m signing bonus for Aho would be the Canes gate revenue for an entire season?

It’s 21M in bonuses in the first 365 days, which is apparently close to a full year gate.

Panarin (11.642m) - Zibanejad (5.35m) - Kakko (0.925m)
Kravtsov (0.925m) - Chytil (0.894m) - Buchnevich (3.8m)
Namestnikov (4.0m) - Howden (0.863m) - Strome (3.1m)
Lemieux (1.75m) - Andersson (0.894m) - Fast (1.85m)
Nieves (0.7m)

Skjei (5.25m) - Trouba (8.0m)
Hajek (0.833m) DeAngelo (3.3m)
Rykov (0.925m) - Fox (0.925m)
Staal (5.7m)

Lundqvist (8.5m)
Georgiev/Shestyorkin (0.925m for Igor)

Kreider traded for a haul of picks if we can’t get a 1st. Hopefully we do get a 1st. Will depends how today shakes out.

Shattenkirk traded at 50% and we give something up to move him. (3.325m)

Smith in AHL (1.05m)

Girardi (3.61m)

Spooner (0.3m)

Beleskey (0.875m)

Cap: 80.111m / 81.5m

That's my prediction for opening night.

Well done, nice effort! Is there some way we can keep CK?

That's impossible. Do the math. Works out to like 2,500 paid at $100 a pop for 41 games. No chance they would be in business if they only brought in 10M over an entire season.

I had the numbers mixed up. Aho is owed $21M in the first 12 months of the contract, which is where the figure came from.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

never mind I’m a moran

 

[Machinehead]

Wow he actually signed it? I thought he wanted more. So Canes match it and all go home.

How long does Carolina have to match? Let Montreal sit with that money tied up until last minute.

My understanding is that offersheets won't be made public if they're not signed.

Thanks, I had the initial figure wrong.

We should not keep CK. There are ways, but not good and worthwhile ways.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Carolina matches and trades him to us.

Can't for another year if they match.

 

[GAGLine]

Carolina matches and trades him to us.

Next year maybe. Can't trade him for a year. Maybe better to wait 2 years for when we have contracts coming off the books.

 

[chosen]

Anyone have any interest in Nichushkin?

Surprised the way his career has gone.

Can’t within a year and $21 million in bonuses. They’ll be committed at that point.

Ye

Yeah saw that, edited my original post.

 

[DutchShamrock]

Good on the habs. Even if its matched. They were trying to squeeze Aho long term under $8m. They are hording dmen. Make life difficult in Carolina. Force moves and eat cap. Screw playing nice and letting teams build comfortable rosters.

He sucks

 

[Gardner McKay]

That Zucc trade was absolutely terrible.

And Gorton is gonna get away with it because of all the other good stuff that is happening.

That is usually what happens when you make tons of good moves.

Yeah no way Montreal tweets out that they sent an offer to a RFA, lol
