Makes sense that neither team can trade the player for a year after signing/matching. Just don’t know if it applies to the 7 day window.

no, the rights are in flux; technically, montreal owns Aho's rights at this moment and Carolina doesn't. the restricted caveat affords Carolina the right to match the contract.
as far as i know neither team has the ability to move him while his contract is up in the air...and once things are finalized the one year moratorium kicks in
