Breakdown of Aho offer sheet: $11.3M SB plus 700k salary in Year 1; $9.87M SB plus 700k salary in Year 2; $6.95 SB plus 750k salary in Year 3; $5.25 SB plus $750k in each of Year 4 and Year 5


Actually I don't know if Carolina matches

The Habs did a good job of front loading in signing bonuses

Cash heavy in the first two years

- Stripes77


I think they have to match, but they certainly aren't happy with the term or structure.

Wow that offer sheet is weak the Carolina hurricanes are going to match that easily

Next

The breakdown is $21m over next 12 months and that he will be UFA when it's over. Even if they match, it is best for Aho. He will sign that, who knows if they match. They should match and then trade him, but we will see.

I don't believed they are issued without pretty much knowing the play is going to sign.

Same thing Philly did for the Weber offersheet.

Nashville matched.

Wow

That is only 1 st a 2nd and a 3rd

Too bad the Sabres didn't have a 3rd

But wow

- Stripes77

We dont have one in 2021 too, 3 years in a row we are trading that pick away.

For sure but people were wondering if he actually signed it

Here is a question

Can Carolina and Montreal work out a different trade other than the draft pick compensation still?

Yeah, he wanted their proprietary tech. Something about an app, or analytics or something. The point is, if you can afford to sink an entire league to get your hands on some data, he can pay a signing bonus

So if Carolina matches, they can't trade him for a year. So can they trade him before matching?

Solid work Montreal. Solid work.

I don't see why Montreal would...unless he agreed to sign for less.

The only thing I can think of is Carolina trades him to someone else for better compensation before the window that they have to match closes. Then "someone else" is on the match or get compensation hook.

No they can not.

This is locked in at either match or take compensation

Nope. He is either Carolina or MTL for next year.
