Really time wasting. If Aho signs it the Canes just thank them for doing their work.

Easy match, but apparently it has a ton of signing bonuses. Is Carolina that cheap?

He has signed it. Otherwise, there?s be no announcement.

 

[cabber24]

Easy match, good value contract.

That's low. Depends on signing bonuses and things. Could be difficult for the Canes to match.

Carolina should wait the full 7 days so Habs can't do anything else.

 

[herman]

Can we shoot over a higher one and trade off Marner?

That's a lot of money. Can Carolina do it?

 

[cabber24]

Easy match, actually a decent value.

 

[herman]

Nearly 50% in the first ish year and that?s actually a nice flex from Bergevin. Could?ve pinched it higher.

Umm...no

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Carolina should have just offered him $8.5mil from the start and they could have avoided this signing bonus mess probably.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Easy match, good value contract.

Not for the Canes. 21.8 mill in first year. Canes only made that in gate revenues. Sure they'll match it tho.

Yup. This kid is real good

So in regards to comparables where is the case for Marner at $11.5 or above?

He seems to think his comparable is Matthews.

Point and Aho are higher value than Marner in my opinion.
