Confirmed with Link: Hurricanes offer sheet for Kotkaniemi (1 year, 6.1M)

[26Mats]

he accepted that?

match and trade.

Or just take the Carolina 1st and 3rd round picks in 2022.

But, I say no way to taking a late 1st for KK - especially after Danault just walked.

But more importantly, this means we have 7 days to get an Eichel deal done if KK is a piece in the deal. You can't match and trade.

 

[26Mats]

My respect for KK is at an all time low if he accepted this on a one year deal.

He's a free agent. He has a right to get the best deal possible.

 

[A55P2]

OMG, they played us soooo bad. Their offer at least make sense, Bergevin should have stayed put on the Aho situation.

 

[26Mats]

KK’s nowhere near that AAV. If the compensation’s good enough, I’d let him walk.

And go into next season with Jake Evans as our 2c and Cedric Pacquette as our 3c????

 

[ArtPeur]

wait what

Imagine letting KK go. What do we do after that with Suz, Evans, Poehling and Paquette at C.

 

[BLONG7]

My respect for KK is at an all time low if he accepted this on a one year deal.

More inclined to lay this on MB.

 

[Redux91]

itll stink for our cap space but you gotta match... we have the room this year..but boy that complicates things for his next contract, son of a bitch, at 6 mill he has no CHOICE but to be 2nd line C too lol

i cant believe they took this long to sign KK god damn it

i saw someone suggest offer sheet to KK FROM the canes as a JOKE a month ago i cant even believe it happened, i mean i also believe it they must be pretty ticked off at us for, you know, helping them sign Aho to a GREAT and amazing contract

wow this is nuts really lol

 

[mbz]

f*** off.. this is what happens when you wait too damn long to sign him. Now we have to qualify him at 6m next year too..

 

[JuicyHam]

This is hilarious. It's so petty from these clowns. Their twitter person is having a great time with this

 

[Le Tricolore]

OMG, they played us soooo bad. Their offer at least make sense, Bergevin should have stayed put on the Aho situation.

Yep, this is a perfect use of an offersheet.

The Habs should 100% match it, but it's definitely much more than KK should be making, and Carolina knows that.

 

[WeThreeKings]

MB is at fault for this. His Aho sheet sucked and wasn't enticing at all, and now he probably offered KK for league minimum

 

[le_sean]

Lol just take the pick, who cares

 

[Doc McKenna]

Total dick move hahaha

We have no choice but to match

Im good with it, same as what we did to them.

 

[le_sean]

Total dick move hahaha

We have no choice but to match

We do have a choice. Mediocre player for $6.1m? No thanks. Especially since he’ll want more on his next contract.

Doesn’t that put the Canes above the cap? Let them figure this problem out. They’ll have a 3rd line centre for a ludicrous amount.

 

[beowulf]

I fully expect Bergevin to walk away from KK then...it would mess their salary structure up like crazy down the line.

I sign him and tell him it’s his last chance with this club at anywhere near that price, which it would be.

He’s been hiding behind the kid label for a minute, but this is a big boy contract/move. Guy has some balls on him apparently.

 

[Durvann]

Can KK refuse and sing a bridge deal in MTL?

 

[JianYang]

Doesn't this mean KK will make even more in year two for the qualifying offer?

 

[red devil]

Carolina added a $20 signing bonus to the contract as that is Aho's number. They are definitely doing this for revenge.

 

[ArtPeur]

How much capspace would we have with KK at 6.1M$? I'm confused with the LTIR contracts on Capfriendly

 

[MarkJ]

lol the 20 dollar bonus because Aho's number is 20.

 

[ArtPeur]

Carolina added a $20 signing bonus to the contract as that is Aho's number. They definitely doing this for revenge.

That's even more hilarious

 

[atrud66]

It's a 1st and a 3rd.
My issue isn't for this year. It's being stuck paying the QO for 22-23 when he hasn't shown he can even be a 3.5M player yet.

This 100%. This sets his next qualifying offer. Bye KK

 

[Redux91]

The canes put a signing bonus of 20 bucks, Ahos number is 20

ive never, ever hated a sports franchise more in my life than these f***ing losers now

 

[Crusher117]

This is personal from Canes.
