Confirmed Signing with Link: [CAR] Jesperi Kotkaniemi signs offersheet with the Hurricanes (1 year, $6.100035M) [Part V]

KK will be a terrific little 3rd line Center for Carolina. Cap hit is high but I guess they really value him.

Nice pickup regardless.

Little?

No idea if this is true or not

How in the world is the verdict out on Danault being a big loss? You lose your shut down 40 point center and have nobody to replace him but somehow you don't know if that's big loss lol.

Montreal isn’t the only team making player decision based on the cap and for Danault they decided to go to the next generation of players rather than overpay. Did you really lol at the end of that alone in front of your computer

Huge if true that’s just a noone on Twitter tho right?

Little?

Triggered?

Sorry, I apologize, he's a good size.

The perfect size actually.

No kid is stepping up and replacing selke defense and putting up 40ish points. All I heard for the last 3 years was how amazing he was 5v5 but now that he's gone you guys can't even admit it's a loss. Gimme a break.

The plan was to let Kotkaniemi grow into that spot.

Now losing Kotkaniemi losing Danault really sucks, but a player like Dvorak could do a decent job of replacing him.

What we would still be losing this year is Kotkaniemis potential

Not sure who you were talking to, but it wasn't me.....in reality Dano is a good shutdown guy, but his offense has regressed, and has been a whiner.....so yes, it's a loss, but to be determined by how much......stay tuned, as mentioned.

Not sure I understand why drouin is weaksauce when we didn’t have him in the cup run. He’s an addition.

There was no player out for Hoffman, he’s just an addition.

I expect Savard and Romanov to have a bigger impact than expected.

Verdict is out on whether Danault will be a big loss.

I’m just not seeing the dramatic drop for the team, I don’t expect them to be vastly improved but you make it seem as though they’ve regressed and I haven’t read any explanations in your posts.

Isn’t Hoffman replacing Tartar?

And while I do think you can question keeping Danault at his price 6 year/5.5m is a lot for a shutdown center, particularly when combined with Gallagher’s 6 year/6.5m.

The Habs will miss him next season though, unless a replacement center(s) appear(s) immediately.

Assuming Savard is healthy, Romanov improves and Wideman is a nice pick-up, all that seems like a reasonable replacement for the regular season Weber and Mete and whatever else is gone. (From a non-Habs fan perspective.)

That would be a bargain, no idea why Arizona would take just that.

Excuse moi, I‘m not Kotkaniemi.
I‘m just wondering what qualifies as little these days.
Coming from the midget team, it‘s even hilarious.

A little Finnish cutie! (I assume that’s what they meant.)

Umm pretty sure that most people here can’t read French . Enlighten us.
Nevermind , can pick out Dvorak and 1 and conditional pick

 

[River Meadow]

How good is Dvorak really?

Is it not better to hang on to a 1st?

 

[Bertuzzipunch]

Umm pretty sure that most people here can’t read French . Enlighten us.

Theres a translation button underneath but

“I am able to confirm that the return for Dvrorak is the Canes' 1st pick and a conditional 2nd round pick in 2024.”

 

[Guttersniped]

So when exactly is the match deadline?

Time is a human construct that has no real meaning.

Looks like rumored Canes 1st+conditional 2nd(2024) for Dvorak.

I don't speak French either but it's not that hard to decipher when it's names and numbers haha.

"I can confirm that the return for Dvorak is the Canes 1st and a conditional 2nd in 2024."

 

[3074326]

Dvorak for the Canes 1st and a conditional 2nd in 2024 according to the tweet from whoever that is.

Can't read French though. Maybe some of those other words I don't understand are crazy. Or maybe it says "Coyotes definitely not trading Dvorak for the Canes 1st and conditional 2nd in 2024."

 

[M2Beezy]

So like an hour for Montreal to make up their minds?

 

[River Meadow]

Does Dvorak have Czech roots?

The fact that he's American is kind of underwhelming, with a cool name like that.

 

[Eggtimer]

Oh great . If the Habs get Dvorak we get to see 283727273 posts on how Dvorak is waaaaaay better than KK and how Bergivin greatly improved his team and KK was garbage and bla bla bla puke

About 1/24 of a rotation of the earth until deadline.
