Last 7 years he has 186 goals in 516 games, rounded up it's 30 goal per season average. He should be a huge PP asset.

Revenge is a dish best served cold... I had a feeling the Aho offer sheet was going to come back and bite Bergevin in the Aho someday.

Looks Good on Molsons Boy , I am not so sure. If they don’t match they get a 1st and 3rd. Would Hab fans be happy if MTL traded him for that return? Hell yes they would. It was a reach when they drafted him. Carolina’s ego to get back handed MTL a gift. The only problem would be MTL matching.

Because I don’t, he was a “reach” but he was a top 5 prospect by the time the draft rolled around. You’re looking at getting a late 1st and late 3rd for a kid who’s 21 years old and has potential, it’s not a good return for the player. The $ isn’t good either but to give him up for that compensation is also a tough pill to swallow, especially considering their horrendous depth down the middle. Currently they have Suzuki/Paquette/Evans.. this team is going to get eaten up there. They rushed his development and it’s gotten people down on KK, I don’t like the development either but they’ve sort of done it to themselves with him. He should have been in Finland at 18, then Finland or the AHL at 19 and just cutting his teeth in the NHL this past season.

If they had taken Tkachuck , a real Heart and Soul Guy then this would be ...well you know . .....but he was trying to defend his inability to get a True #1 Center by saying........."u hav to draft dem" , then they put him in the mix right away and well .......we now have this . Plus the Aho Factor . Anyway I would not Match it ( I don't believe they can fit it in ) and take the Compensation ......then listen to Molson spin it .....that Bergevin picked up an extra 3rd ....he is soooooo smart . The thing that surprised me was that Carolina had made several attempts to trade for him , that was kept quiet .

I got to thinking last night about this and I really think Montreal should just cut bait and take the 1st and 3rd. It's not a guarantee that Carolina makes the playoffs so there is always the chance that the 1st becomes a lottery pick and I don't see Carolina being in the upper echelon of the league for sure where the pick would end up being in the 29 to 32 range. That salary and the QO that would be required would be so hard to move along with. Take the picks and if Montreal is doing well enough use them to buy during the year and if it isn't worth it to use them then make an extra selection at the 2022 draft in Montreal which is very strong- imagine the Habs drafting Shane Wright with that pick due to a lottery win.
