DeNiro Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Apparently the Canes did try to trade for Kotkaniemi first. So the Habs likely knew an offer sheet was coming. Doubt they thought it would be for one year for so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of posts like these all over the place.............. Why Alberga? So Petey can go Buffalo and win cups? Don’t be absurd man. Oh Isha!!!! Bergy is the one who shat the bed here. You can’t make every act of stupidity be about DimJim. Try to focus on the real story here. Marc B has had the offseason from hell.

We saw it first hand with Gillis offer sheeting Backes (great try) and then getting rocked on the Steve nernier offer sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat land fish Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Tough for the Habs to let JK walk given he was a 3rd overall pick. I think they will match but it will hurt them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuporbust Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Do stupid things , win stupid prises. Congrats Bergevin. Canes for the win. Edited August 29, 2021 by cuporbust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) I think this screws both teams, really. If Montreal matches, they overpay and have to move someone to come up with the cap. And if they don't, the draft picks coming back aren't amazing and they have center position issues. And if the Hurricanes do get him, then they are the ones overpaying AND they give up draft picks. With all that said, this is the best offer sheet ever. Love the revenge and the signing bonus. Edited August 29, 2021 by kloubek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kotkaniemi could thrive in Carolina though. Doubt that salary looks like that much of an overpayment if he’s in a top 6 role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I can't wait for Montreal to lose Kotkaniemi cause Bergivin only had two 5 dollar bills and couldn't cover that 20 dollar signing bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a fluke that they exposed the Laffs; they're simply a better hockey team. Toronto is a better regular season team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His qualifying offer will be the same too. He'll be making bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadiens will not match the Hurricanes' offer sheet to Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
