The team took to Twitter to announce their intentions of retaining the 21-year old Finnish forward, a restricted free agent and their points leader from this past season.
Aho signed a five-year, $42.27 million offer from the Montreal Canadiens. Carolina has seven days to match and they have told the world they will, creatively.
Because this is the Hurricanes, the team that
brought you the Storm Surge
and
the Bunch of Jerks
, they made sure to put a little humor in their post.
The Hurricanes asked fans a poll question: "Will we match the offer sheet for Sebastian Aho?" Both answers were yes, but one choice said "Oui" the French word for yes, a nod to the bilingual city of Montreal.
