the Habs did all the heavy lifting. they made a terrible offersheet and he signed it. no brainer for the Canes

The best player who ever signed a contract for Bergevin

no risk for MTL though. Worth a shot even though it probably wasn’t going to work.

Toronto declines

lmao. In all seriousness, the Habs do too, since we’re giving up a early seventh rounder for a later one

True, but I think GMs actaully don't really like other GMs sending offer sheets so maybe he damaged his reputation among other GMs, but I don't know for sure

that was just to bring people to this post

that’s not true. GMs know that the league is a business. If anything, it helps GMs signs heir young guys in the lineup. Who cares what other GMs think of you if you’re just trying to make your team better at any cost. Just means that you have balls and that you’re trying.

i just think a higher offer would have been more effective

yeah but it would cost too many picks for MTL

cant argue that. plus that pick could have be Laff

He signed that deal because he get 20 millions in bonus in one year. Plus he'll be UFA at the end of his contract. The offer was made on special things all calculate by financial habs worker. Hurricanes owner never gives bonuses to his player and already add problem in the past. That's why Aho signed that deal and Berg give him that deal.
