This is why you don't take forever to sign your RFA's. Why leave that window open for another team to step in?
KK probably got a stupid take-it-or-leave-it offer from Bergevin, KK's camp didn't flinch, and now MB has to deal with a situation which likely could have been avoided for the sake of less than $1M in difference between the parties.
Habs probably match, and that's the end of it. Tit for tat. The repercussions are MB's to deal with.
The $20 signing bonus just taints an otherwise good tactical offer sheet. It's an unnecessary provocation. You can let a regular offer sheet go as being a business move. The $20 isn't about business.
Will Bergevin keep it professional, or will he be looking for an opportunity to fire back now?
