Yeah, everybody keeps saying "Why not go after Petterson or Tkachuk instead?" and the answer is that even if you get Petey to sign an $11 million offer sheet, Vancouver is probably going to match it. They basically have to.

that's why the Aho one was so stupid. You don't target stars with offer sheets if you actually want them. You target young guys that you think still have the potential to be stars.
- BINGO!

It does make a lot of sense, also much less compinsation given up. They are banking on a guys they have scouted heavily to fit in, theres also no guarantee he doesnt extend at a lower cap after this year. They paid what they needed to obtain him, its a show-me contract imo.

I know , right?

You must be livid with the KK offersheet

Nah. That's exactly what it's there for.

We have the 2nd and 3rd overall picks from the 2018 draft now. One clearly not like the other, and it's a risky play, but if it works they're geniuses.

If it fails, well, you walk away next year and you've lost a couple draft picks.

Basically a rental player, he just happens to be 21 years old.

What a Homer. MTL fleeced Carolina. $6.1MM for a soft 3rd line winger…if it was a UFA signing it would have been brutal but then they toss in a 1st and a 3rd. They should have traded for Dvorak instead

Arvid Costmar (#Canucks) ties the game late for his third point (1G + 2A). *His first assist may be taken away*

This is Linkoping's final pre-season match.

Kotkeniemi and a 2nd for Dvorak and a 3rd. Plus Montreal’s picks will almost certainly be higher than Carolina’s. Seems like a push at best.

He needs the money to settle his civil suit and hope that closes the criminal investigation. But he might never come back. Not only is the KHL suited for his game, he'll get so much pu$$sy, without repercussions, its a win win for this goof.
