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

[PensandCaps]

Great deal for MTL. give me a 1st and a 3rd for a very bland 3rd liner any day of the week.

 

[VanJack]

LOL!....is this 'payback' for the Habs 'offer-sheeting' Sebastian Aho a few years back? Not sure that Kotkaniemi is worth a first and third rounder. Maybe the Habs think long and hard on whether they want to match.

 

[T_Cage]

The revenge offer sheet, didn’t think we’d get this, but glad we are

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Not that good of a player to be worth an offer sheet. Seems like pettiness for Aho

It absolute is. Now we gotta pitch in some money to rent a barn so Bergevin can fight Brindamour. (I know Rod isn’t the GM, but that’s the fight to make)

6M is quite rich for what KK has shown so far no? has to be qualified at that next year as well. Does MTL take the picks and move on or do they have enough room with Weber on LTIR?

 

[bsu]

This is amazing.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Revenge lmao
Hope someone offersheets Petey next

 

[Svechhammer]

Live look at the Canes front office

 

[Langdon Alger]

Hahahaha take the deal! A 1st and 3rd for a future 3rd line center that’s pretty good. What a bad way to come back at MTL

Yeah, but that first likely ends up being late in the first round, and in the meantime, Montreal has a whole to fill at the centre ice position.

 

[Gstank]

What goes around comes round

 

[MapleLeafs94]

Lmao awesome

 

[Maitz]

I don’t think KK is worth a 2nd to be honest so I jump on this deal

 

[EdJovanovski]

they tweeted it in French LMAO

 

[chaser17]

Don't forget -- that means Kotkaniemi actually signed it.

Can't imagine he was happy being healthied to begin and end the playoffs.

Wasn't he part of the habs young amazing core? So they have Suzuki and ? And this is supposed to be a playoff team?

 

[LaVal]

I love it. Similar to when Vancouver signed Backes to an offer sheet and St Louis turned around and signed Bernier to one as retaliation.

 

[MXD]

Insta not-matched as far as I'm concerned.

 

[CoachBadkitten]

We need more of this in the NHL. Incredible pettiness.

 

[josra33]

Look at me, the world saddest man playing the worlds smallest violin.

 

[Dack]

Either way wont his next QO be very high? Like in the 6-7 million dollar territory? If you're forced to re-up him for that much (which he's not even close to worth yet) repeatedly or lose him to free agency by not qualifying him is it even worth matching?

 

[Redpath]

Is it really revenge if you overpay, with a looming qualifying offer, to lose compensation for a decent player?

 

[Maitz]

Wasn't he part of the habs young amazing core? So they have Suzuki and ? And this is supposed to be a playoff team?

He is still in a « potential 2nd line center » that IMO will never turn out. He shows flashes once in while and 80% of the time he is inexistant

Ok, but what does Montreal’s centre ice position look like for this upcoming season without KK?

 

[Kupo]

Canes are officially my second favorite team in the league

If I'm Montreal I'm taking the picks and running.
