Sujet: Faulk to Anaheim for picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>randint</b></div><div>Don't agree with what? That they need to play him more than Hamilton because he's defensively the second best RD on the team? Faulk isn't the defensive rock you try to make him up to be, he's only better (at defending) than Hamilton. And that's exactly why I'd rather move, he's got no distinct strengths; sure he's an all-rounder but rather a jack of all trades yet master of none.</div></div>

I did not say he is rock, i said he far superior to Hamilton defensively, does not take much to be, while being fairly close offensively, much better in the locker room, and likely cheaper to sign. Much rather have him than Hamilton. Canes would be better off extending Faulk and trading Hamilton for multiple reasons. If you don’t see that so be it. Opinions vary.

Sujet: Carolina Hurricanes signed Sebastian Aho (5 Years / $8,460,250 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLaveragefan</b></div><div>It is such a ballsy move.

That's a hostile take over, just pure business. Like how Ray Kroch took over McDonald's.

I also believe that MTL did offer a trade for Aho that was way superior to the compensation now. They offered the easy way... this is the hard way!</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joe_La_Garnotte</b></div><div>BTW Dundon is a billionaire</div></div>

And there’s the rub. Dundon <strong>is</strong> a billionaire, and MTL is asking him to put his money where his mouth is.

This is the kind of stuff I really love. Very little of this deal has to do with Hockey. This is all about business economics crossing over with sports management. As someone who’s taken a few economics courses in University (as electives lol). Strictly from a business perspective, this deal is a nightmare. Accepting this deal basically forces you to take the next few years at a loss in terms of revenue. Dundon will probably have to dip in the capital from another one of his business’s or of his own personal stash to deal with this, and that’s just bad business, period. From a sports management perspective on the other hand, this is a no brainer. The compensation for letting Aho leave just isn’t good enough. It’s actually crap. The AAV is also almost spot on, and although the term isn’t what CAR want, it’s still manageable. But Wadell right now has no say anymore on what happens next. This guy is literally just going to his boss saying ‘’hey, I have this ****ty offer sheet I need to deal with... I just need $12mil cash for it to go away right now....and another $9mil cash next July 1st...’’
So it’ll be interesting what Dundon decides.

It’s easy for us mortals to tell a billionaire how to spend $21+ million, and odds are CAR matches. But it’s cool to see GMs try something like this, it really doesn’t happen often.
