In less than 24 hours after the Montreal Canadiens attempted to have the first successful offer sheet in well over a decade, the Carolina Hurricanes crushed a very greedy Habituals fanbase matching the offer without breaking a single sweat signing Sebastian Aho to the 5 year $8,454,000 AAV contract.
Don Waddell made a promise to Carolina during the State of the Canes address last Saturday that he would match any offer sheet made. Today he made good on that promise. The fans and his teammates can rest easy knowing that the finnish phenom will remain in Raleigh.
