MB pulls a fast one and Offersheets Pettersson, since he gains a 1st and 3rd for KK, he can afford to lose some firsts and since Vancouver is also cap strapped they can’t just blindly sign any contract, so they’d too be a tough spot.

Benning would find a way to screw Vancouver somehow, like by taking on a expensive long term contract… like OEL..

100%!, &
@Juiceman might have DEFINITELY spoken too soon!

Now you’re going to have to explain to me how the habs fit an Elias Pettersson offer sheet into their $5.5 million in cap space.

WADDELL YOU TROLL

I can’t trust this man for even a second anymore 🤣

I feel like Waddell’s head is hollow.

Honestly I would love to have kk as a hurricane but Waddell offered him something that Montreal can’t match and now we’re gonna have to give up a hefty compensation. If he wanted to only troll he should’ve just lowballed him or even just gave him an average deal.

Well @Dzinger18 if I do end up being wrong about this and the habs don’t match, you will have added a new fan to your ranks of Canes fans.

And if that’s the case, I can’t get away from cheering for a team who recently acquired a RHD who is a terrible person. :P

Dude, it’s a 1st and a 3rd. The habs can and will match.

If they can’t afford to match a KK offer sheet, what makes you thinkI they can offer Pettersson an offer sheet?

Waddell is a troll. This offer sheet was 20% for the player and 80% for the troll. Pulling a quick one just cause Bergevin did it to them. $20 signing bonus, I wonder who on the Hurricanes wears number 20?

Since there seems to be some misinformation, the habs can easily match the offer sheet now, with minimal movement to their roster, other than waiving a player a few months from the start of the season. (Assuming that there are no injuries at that point)

The contract is a massive headache next season, but the habs still have a year to figure that out.

I don’t think the Canes really care if you match. It’s just basically an F you for offer sheeting Aho

I doubt the Hurricanes need KK

They did that just to troll Bergervin

I agree that the Habs will match

100%. The Hurricanes would be an absolute horrible fit for KK. They don’t have room for him at centre, and it would be stupid to play him on the wing.

As has already been stated above ^ ^ ^ ...
F-U moment from one Alpha-GM to Another for the 99%-part.
But to make it work, can waive or LTIR or trade other undesirables if necessary to make the math fit, or flip OS [insert NHLer here] to a third party etc. etc. etc.

They ask Brisebois

Well well well. The Canes aren’t even gonna pretend that thing is isn’t revenge

Definitely get the thought but just saying the guy was a healthy scratch at one point in the playoffs. Montreal needs him now though since they lost Danault.

Carolina’s last offer to Dougie Hamilton was 6.2 mill x 8. They offered Kotkaniemi only 100 k less…

Also, if they OS Petterason, you better bet that an OS will be heading for Suzuki/Caufield in the future

Priorities.

Maybe yes, maybe no.
Have to have the picks and the stones to do it Jimbo!!

We can and should match, Kk is worth more than the compensation ( 1st and 3rd ), and lowball/average deal is an insta-match by Montreal, no point in doing it

QO next year is 6+ million. Don’t think you’re off the hook after this year

I know but MB can work it, we already have 20 million wingers, he’ll probably trade at least 1 of them and work his magic, Kk will be worth it in the long term
