Maroon was more of an enforcer type guy who got lucky goals from bounces that came his way - Simmonds is/was pretty skilled on his own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wonder if Ray kicked the tires on Maroon, got a no, and went this way instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player has to agree to the offer before it even goes to Carolina to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anhkheg Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 If I am the Canes, I am ready to let Aho walk. Canes will be getting 2 high picks in the next two years. They can count on Canadiens to ensure they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the Canes financial situation, from a business stand point they may have to unless they can match the offer but if they can match it, then by all means yes.

I know he's a nut job but doesn't the Owner have deep pockets? He bankrolled the AAF or whatever that football league was called for the better part of a month.

TSN just said the Canes only made ~25m at the gate this past year - and this contract would owe Aho 21M over the first 12 months. Woof, this is a tough spot for the Canes.
