Maybe he turned down discussions with MTL because he didn't want to go to MTL.

Or he wants a bigger chunk of money than what Aho was willing to sign for.

T Hall wants to win now, Point wants to get paid, it makes sense

God forbid Lou gets someone with actual talent. Panarin turned him down so he’s done for the rest of the summer

We can go over the cap thanks to Callahan being on the LTIR. We got about 11 Mil when you consider that.

Which, to be quite honest, is probably the reaction of 80% of FAs (or RFAs) that Montreal persues...

Bergy's next move is going to cause a big splash.

Not true, Tavarez signed for several million less just to be in Toronto. Several Leaf fans told me so....

Can't be true. Non Leafs fans told me Tavares would never sign in Toronto.

What a conundrum

Nothing clear about that... perhaps the money or term wasn’t what he was looking for

I’d say it was the money. But 100% wasn’t the same amount given to aho

I’m thinking he turned down between 9.5-10.5 (2 firsts second and third pick)

He did, according to anything I read also.

There will be exceptions of course, but generally speaking it sure seems like most FA's would rather play in the U.S.

i would think a Drouin/Alzner for Point trade could work out. plus that still leaves Montreal with enough space to bring in Laine as well.

Wow Ek. I never imagined the Wings could be a destination for Point. I always thought the Wings might be a way for Tampa to create some cap space. So for example Yzerman takes on a contract like Palat or Killorn, and as compensation Yzerman extracts a prospect he likes from Tampa. That always made logical sense to me why these teams would be talking. But if your source is telling you Brayden Point is involved this is pretty huge news!!

Also interesting that your sources keep bringing up Ottawa and offer sheets. Would be pretty risky for them to give up any 1sts since adding Marner or Rantanen or Laine or whoever probably still leaves them in the bottom 10. Nobody else is reporting this so this could be a source that is just sharing with you. That's awesome to be getting a scoop like that ahead of Dreger and Friedman and MacKenzie and Lebrun.

This is becoming my favourite schtick on HB, although appropriate and timely placement of Bristol chart never gets old.
