Bergevin Press Conference

Button thinks the extra first rounder may have convinced Carolina not to match if MB goes to the next threshhold.

I find that hard to believe

Its the upfront money
 
Is that money not tied up for a week?

In very basic terms, the Canadiens still have about $3.4 million in available non-Aho cap space plus the 10% percent offseason cushion - which is an additional $8.15 million - so in theory they could continue shopping while they wait for the Hurricanes to match.

Well we should offer sheet someone else as well. Wtf not....
 
my guess is they tried to get Point to sign an offer sheet but he wouldnt
My guess is TBay would have matched without question (100% futility) but Canes are one of only a couple of orgs who MAY not (80%-90% futility)
 
The hope has to be that they have some intel that Dundon would never pay out 21.5 mil to a player in a year.

They low balled Aho with a 6 mil/year offer.

How do you do that when you have 22 mil in cap space to your best player?

If you dont have the funds or will to retain a few of your stars ...GTF out of the league Dundon

This is lunacy of epic proportion regardless of your team revenues .

So if he GTF out, who’s exactly lining up to buy the team and keep it in Car?
 
can they afford to though?

cap wise
Maybe... based on recent history TBay would likely find a way to jettison another player (cap space) to fit Point. Likely be somewhat costly in terms of picks/prospects but could be done.

They are already a welfare team that acquires bodies to try and reach the floor.

For all the money people say Fundon has he surely doesn’t spend it on his team.
