Thread: I would be okay with this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>No... you don't know this franchise. The canes made enough money in selling season tickets for next year to match that ALONE. You really need to do your research. It's not been matched yet because they want to stop Montreal from spending, they have to leave 300k in cap space because, even with the inflated cap ceiling, they'd be over if they let Aho go, which would result in a bigger penalty. They are going to match this, Waddell has said that in his press conference yesterday (NHLCanes on twitter if you wish to view it). As for the canes owner.... you seem to forget this guy is a MULTI MILLIONAIRE. 21 million for the guy he said wants to keep no matter the cost, is nothing. You really need to do more of your own research before you go commenting on things like this, because you still seem to view this as the team it was under Karmanos, which it isn't.</div></div>

They increased season ticket sales by 4m during the playoff run. Cool your jets.

I fully expect them to match. They can’t afford not to.

I follow more than 1 team. Canes are my 2nd team. You should probably do some reading about him and open your eyes how things have been done since he took over. Just saying.

BTW how much did he lose on the AAF investment? I know, i know, two different things right? Except his bank account is only one thing to him, or anyone for that matter. It affects his decision making on how much he wants to invest of his own capital into the franchise. It’s public knowledge he did not want to go over 6m per on Aho. I think they match because they have no choice really. They don’t they lose the goodwill generated from the playoff run. But he’s not going to be happy about it. Their internal payroll cap is a lot lower than the cap ceiling.
