I think you're probably pretty close to right. The thing is, I dont think the Canes can lose this particular game of chicken.
If the Habs match they've lobbed a grenade at an opponent who is totally screwed against the Cap.
If the Habs take the picks those picks are going to be middling at best and the Canes probably get a decent player who meets their needs and probably takes a lower deal after that first year.
This seems like a lose/lose proposition for Montreal.
Its fantastic entertainment!
