Correct.
If the canes match they own his rights and he plays under the terms of the offersheet he signed.
Further to that, he can't be traded for a year following the match, which means Carolina will have to pay out almost 50% of the contract in that first year. That will make them extremely hesitant to entertain moving him anywhere after that first year
