So does MTL walk away from this with bad league rep?

No. Carolina at the moment does not own Aho's rights. Montreal does, and they are not permitted to trade him.

If Carolina matches can Montreal just do the same with Point, Laine, Connor, Tkachuk?

Who on this board wants Tkachuk as the highest paid Flame for the next 5 years at 8.454?

If they offer the same to Laine Jets match and then offer the same to Connor?

Yes.

I don't see that Tkachuk would get an offer in the same range as Aho, and I am also sceptical that he will sign with just any team. I think it would be under $8.0 m and I think the Flames would match. Tkachuk is most definitely going to carry the highest cap-hit on this team after he signs this summer.

If it wasn't already...this basically locks in Tkachuck. More than Meier at 6 and less than Aho at 8.5M.

I may be wrong but I don’t think it can be announced as an offer sheet unless the player has accepted it. Until then it is just another backroom discussion or rumour.

That’s more than a soft eastern conference Center is worth imo.

The compensation is not enough? Tkachuk for a 15th 46th and 77th pick?

Have you actually been reduced to quoting and questioning yourself?

No. It helps other GM's around the league cost control their RFA's.

By setting this price for Aho I think MTL did a few teams a favour.

Habs going to be playing the "doing what we can to prove we are serious about winning" card, as well as getting a big future favour from the players agent for this for another client.

7.5 .... a million less per year than Aho giving up his last RFA (9M qualifying offer) and first UFA year. NO the price has just gone up.

All the comments on Draistl's bad contract will have to be expunged from the record.

How so? Find a purpose for the unused cap space? Provide a reason for a lockout?
