Well duh, but is it practical? Well...no.

no chance they don't match Elias

Wow! Really? You think so?

TVA has figured it out

..

Connor McDavid would be a pretty good replacement for Kotkaniemi too.

Why do the fans and media think they can offersheets their way out of this?

They got in this mess bc MB was arrogant in his moves and left himself vulnerable

He will be even more vulnerable with his other rfas if he try’s something like a EP offersheet.

I wouldn’t do that if I was Montreal… I would just accept what Carolina has done, and then help your team when it needs it. If they offer sheet, they will create enemies, and then either say bye to Suzuki, or have to match an expensive offer sheet.

Once you're over the last threshold, it doesn't make sense to tender a five-year contract -- you might as well make it seven. The only reason to offer five is if you want to make it $10 million even and save the draft picks.

Note that $8.5 million for 6 years and $10 million for five costs the same two firsts, a second and a third.

Breaking news, my dad thinks a Ferrari would be a good replacement for his Honda Civic.....

i dont know if he could fill kotkaniemi's shoes.

The point of the offer-sheet is to make the Canucks decide on either 4 unprotected 1st round picks or a massive contract for Pettersson.

And to follow up on this goofy idea that TVA sports had :/

If we did this we could loose Suzuki and or Romanov who are both rfa next year.First order of business should be resigning Suzuki

The rabid local sports media in Montreal has other ideas

I guess hahah! They just better hope that Bergevin has learned his lesson… if not, then this is going to be fun to watch!

Where do I imply that the Habs will just offer-sheet their way out of this mess?

This is an idea from TVA sports.

I'm just the messenger

. . . and now that Salma Hayek just turned 55 and so is officially a senior citizen . . .

That's why I watch my hockey in english.

French TV medias suuuuuuucks. My GF got better opinions.

HNIC and Insider trading FTW. And I miss Burkie.

You’re not a fan not the media. I never said you

That's like replacing a lighter with a flamethrower lol, the Habs will looks to replace him but I doubt something like this happens

Right over everyone's head.!?
This is all owners thoughts of offersheets 101. It is simply intended to overpay salary.
I'd stay out of the water if I we're Bergevin...
Dun don...Dun don...Dun don

you obviuosly don't watch rds. tva is full of ****s... but so is tsn and Sportsnet

Rds is the best

Now do the one with Eric Staal

Ewwww

Benoit Brunet, Norman flynn and Gaston Therrien stopped being credible in 2005.

don't you dare speak ill of Gaston
Also gagnon and damphousse are great
