Speculation: POLL: Would you match the offer sheet on KK ?

[Tripledeke333]

- KK is untradable for 12 months.
- one year contract is not negociable
- QO next year needs to be 6.1M

I could be wrong but I thought you could trade him BEFORE the offer is matched.

 

[The Great Weal]

Wouldn't be surprised if Bergevin doesn't match. He is likely done with KK after KK signed this and not matching this kind of screws over Carolina. Another 1st from a team that will do worse than last year when the draft is in Montreal.

Habs will most likely do worse than them either way.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

This is a tough one for me. I like him. 6 is a lot. Especially with this QO thing a ma jig.

That Cane pick could be high/high-ish. And trading KK likely means we're in for a high pick ourselves. Could draft two big pieces. People are pretty high on this draft. I think you take the risk and let him walk.

You definitely can't do that. The contract is signed, it's just a matter of which team.

Don't see your point. KK was always a mystery for this season. Don't think he could do something that a guy like Poehling couldn't.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Nope, disloyal little bitch doesn't want to play here? Disloyal little bitch goes down south. Period.

He's getting paid 2 times what he would've probably gotten and Bergevin kinda buried him at the end of the season. Not blaming him.

There's no loyalty in sport, come on man.

yeah I mean you let him walk and Carolina probably starts to sweat a bit.

MB's been showing some crazy cajones of late like it or not. Could turn into a nice move for us.

 

[Schwang]

He's still an RFA next summer and has a minimum qualifying offer of 6M at 22...He'll be fine.

Even next year, he still won't be worth 6million.

He would be playing in the bottom 6 there and would become a UFA because nobody is going to qualify him. I think he kind of hurt himself with this too, but I can't put myself in his shoes with a 6 million dollar cheque waiting for me.

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Hell no. I'll be livid if we match this.

 

[Schwang]

Take the picks and wash your hands of him...he doesn't look like anything more than a 3rd line center at present, nor does he look likely to be anytime soon (if ever). Not worth screwing up your team finances for...not even close.

You never know where that 1st pick will be, either. If things don't go as planned, that could be a really good pick.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hard no

 

[Saxon]

I'm a KK fan...... but nope, let him walk.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I can't believe how this poll is playing out, do any of you actually believe a C habs have been developing for 3+ years, who just turned 21 - is going to be let go for late 1st and 3rd? never.
Who cares if bergevin is overpaying by 3 mill, he isn't letting an asset like this walk for magic beans. not. going. to. happen.

martin necas is an RFA next summer yes? lol

 

[Justsayin]

Will only match if there is a better trade. Can’t keep him now. Too bad. I think he’s going to be very good.

 

[beh3moth]

No, he is not trending to be worth that money and signing the offer sheet messes up the whole salary structure of the team.

 

[DKH]

Montreal doesn’t match the problem is they can’t draft - after Mailloux fiasco

There is a reason why only people close to 40 or older remember their last Cup

 

[habsterr]

Not worth the price let him walk. Sign Necas next year haha.

 

[llamateizer]

why did Lehkonen sign for below his qualifying offer?

You have to check his base salary. Signature bonus doesn't count. 200k signature bonus +2.2 mil.
That's why

 

[RC51]

ok so this might mean that MB can offer 2 firsts a second and a third and Drouin to BUFFALO

 

[Zorba]

Hell no. I'll be livid if we match this.

I will too but it will be matched.

 

[Goldenhands]

No way Bergy doesnt match it with Danault gone... Thats only 6M X 1, no big deal here, KK still is extremmely young, another summer behind the belt could do a huge difference, you have to match it, no way you take the chance to see him blossom elsewhere.

 

[BLONG7]

There's no loyalty in sport, come on man.

He was at 925k................and now can make more than 6 times that...............no way anyone says no....
Context..........You make 15 bucks an hour, and another employer says, we will give you 90 bucks an hour, same job, one year....

KK and his agent knew that offer was to hurt us.

(20$ bonus) 1 year only



If he had any good intention he would have asked for 5 years at 5M or something
