Eh, I disagree, and it's not even because I care for the Habs but because I don't care for Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Danault, Perry and Kotkaniemi doesn't instill much confidence. Divorak is good but can is he a game changer? Suzuki, Evans and Pacquette I believe. Now add Dvorak. They need more centre depth, but their wingers aren't too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 After the Habs picking Mailloux in the draft, this is just perfect karma. Love this whole turn of events. Definitely have a new found respect for Carolina after pulling this stunt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I forgot about Jake Evans, Montréal is either going to surprise again next season, or be really bad. I can't say they'll be bad because somehow they're always better than expected. But in their division they're going to need big years from a few players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be in rebuilding mode for the next 5 years. Funny, I thought MB/Montreal was “done” a long time ago, when he/they traded Subban for Weber.

Word was the bunch of jerks were trying to trade for KK, but Bergevin wasn't having any of it, so they took another route. The $20 signing bonus was the kick to the Bergeballs. That's how I view this offer sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will finish 11-14 from the bottom, miss the playoffs, and give Arizona a nice and high first round pick for a draft that is in Montreal. The fans at the draft will be totally impressed when Arizona picks 12OA (the Habs pick given up for Dvorak) and the Habs picks 30th: the Carolina pick. Too funny!

They still have lots of good pieces. Not having Weber will certainly hurt but Savard plays a similar style of game, minus Shea's bomb from the point. They are lucky to be in the same div as Buffalo and Det. Make up points for sure. I think TOR and MTL and OTT will be battling for a wild card spot. BOS, TB and FL should take the top 3 spots.

wildwood12 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Waddell says Kotkaniemi offer sheet was 'not about revenge' for Aho offer sheet Speaking to the media for the first time since acquiring Jesperi Kotkaniemi by way of an offer sheet, Hurricanes GM Don Waddell says the offer sheet was more about the type of player the team is acquiring in Kotkaniemi rather than revenge for the Canadiens offer sheet to Sebastian Aho. Kotkaniemi says he only has good things to say about Montreal as he bids farewell to the Canadiens So it was a A LOVE story after all! Not REVENGE! LOL! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was petty as hell and the social media account played that aspect up. If you’re going to be petty you may as well own it. I’m sure they like Kotkaniemi as a player. But the way this played out was 100% motivated by revenge Edited September 5, 2021 by qwijibo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that supposed to change my mind on the scabs? They made the playoffs 3 out of the 5 years, since making that trade. The first year they missed the playoffs, Weber was out practically the entire year. Only playing 26 games, along with Price missing a few stretch of games. The following year, they barely missed the playoffs, and was 14 games above .500 (96 points). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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