This is the best, guess OS aren’t so fun anymore for some fans now

I actually laughed at this

There should be more of them imo.

He’s not worth it, but it’s funny as hell. The $20 signing bonus….lol

2019: "[Aho is] a player who wants to come to Montreal," Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said. "It was an offer that he did not have to accept, so for him it's an offer that for the value he sees in himself, the group of young players coming up in our organization, he wants to be part of that."

2021: "Jesperi Kotkaniemi accepted our offer. He wants to come to Carolina," said Waddell. "He sees the core we've built here and he wants to be a part of that. We're proud, but there's still a waiting period. When you make an offer like that, we saw a vulnerable position."

Coming from a habs fan, this is outstanding work by Carolina.

And the pettiness with the 20 dollar singing bonus, aho is 20. Is just chefs kiss

This is 100% middle finger back at Montreal

Waddell has had one of the GREEEASSIEST offseasons in the NHL. He's just been a jerk.

He loses points by signing deangelo but this makes up for it. J love gms making moves out of spite

Is Gardiner for sure on LTIR? Just curious. Haven't heard anything about that.

As for the trolling, this is ELITE.

They also copy pasted the Habs statement from the Aho offer sheet, and tweeted it out with a "LOL". pure spite and pettiness

Bruh lmao

Also the 15$ in the base salary is Kotkaniemi's #

And looks like Montreal needs to make a roster move if they want to make, would be beyond the 10% overage for the offseason, they really are giving it to them

Weber going on LTIR fixes that

I don't think this is a good move for the Cans- I don't think KK is that good, and I definitely don't think he's worth 6 million or that the qo is good even for afterwards. I don't even know if I would give up a 1and3 for him. But Jesus if this was not hilarious.

No it doesn’t, cap friendly just tweeted it out, one Byron returns they have to get below the 89m upper limit

They really do need to make a move if they match, drop about 3.5m as soon as Byron has to be activated

Yeah. They'll be able to match and they will, but things just got way tighter this year. JK just got a LOT more leverage on his next deal too. 6mil QO he could just sign.

It’s likely a late 1st so it’s not that bad for Carolina.

They can match but looks like Byron will cause them to move out around 3m once he is activated, he isn’t out for the season so they really have to make a deep cut eventually if I read that tweet from cap friendly correctly

Honestly F the habs so I’m happy to see this. Some good old fashion payback for the Aho offer sheet.

MTL likely accepts but I’m glad they did it.

Depends when he comes back

I like the petiness but hate this move

Dec/Jan is the time like so they will have to move cap eventually and you can’t accrue space using ltir

They could move Kulak and by then have enough space
