So Carolina's statement only says that they will match the offer sheet "within the timeframe allowed by the League’s Collective Bargaining Agreement".

So I think they're going to handcuff the Habs by making them wait the full 7 days purely out of spite and the Habs can't do shit with regards to another OS during that span because their picks are still technically committed.

Bravo, Waddell.

I hope the Canes do indeed wait the full time allotted and then have a mix up when faxing it into the league and it doesn’t arrive on time thereby making the Habs offer valid.

It's only prudent to wait, spitefulness aside. Imagine they match today and Aho goes out celebrating and is filmed putting out a cigar right next to the line of coke that is resting on the titties of the unconscious stripper we was just filmed pistol whipping with a TEC-9 semi-automatic handgun that has the serial numbers clearly filed off. What then? Coulda been the Habs problem.

I think in Carolina the fans would say "Hey, he's just like us!".

Maybe if the Oilers used this in their free agent video package they might get somewhere. I’d sign up for that in a heartbeat even in Edmonton.

TB's got over $13 mil in space once Callahan is LTIR'd. There's no shot they don't match for that price.

But I do hope Bergevin continues to strike out on centres. It's highly amusing.

Ah shit. I keep forgetting about Cally.

A two year battle in courts could be fun!

Sharks bringing in the big meanies.
I'd still look to sign Ben Chariot and trade for Ross Johnson from the NYI

I liked the offer sheet, the offer, and I am fine with the 'Canes matching it. I think the fact the Habs were better than expected might have sped up their rebuild time frame and I was OK with Aho because of his age; but they also have a number of prospects I'd like to see playing significant time next season.

Who are you and what have you done with the real comeds?

Must be a co-worker that hacked @Comeds laptop while they were in the HR office (again)

Just being honest, if you think that makes me seem "high" or think this is some sort of a mountebank; that's on you.

And Jenkins, from materials management, has been on administrative leave since "he" illegally downloaded all 8 seasons of Charmed onto his work PC.

Big move for Toronto yesterday in getting Barrie. They solved a need their team had in getting him.

WTF is he saying? That Analytics made someone be stupid enough to give Tanev 6 years? Or the critics using analytics to show what a bad deal it is don't know anything because "eye test"?
