The Carolina Hurricanes have officially matched the Montreal Canadiens' five-year, $42.27-million offer sheet for Sebastian Aho, the team announced on Sunday.
Carolina was given seven days to match after Montreal signed the young Finn on July 1. The following day, Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon announced his club would match the offer.
The 21-year-old tallied a career-high 83 points in 2018-19.
