CAR offer sheet is 1 year, $6.1M twitter.com/canes/status/1…
We've tendered an Offer Sheet to Jesperi Kotkaniemi 👀


- VANTEL

Big overpay for healthy scratched player. If Habs don't match can they clear enough cap to OS Petey?

Wtf would they trade him? Do u think they’ll be out of a playoff position and risk this move? Plus the qualifying offer now is insane for either team plus the loss of draft picks - absolutely ridiculous, but hilarious and childish and quite exciting
- Brooks_Light

He’d fetch more at the deadline. This was solely to screw the Habs.
🤔That being said, maybe MB doesn’t match and os’s Petey?

I just read his QO next summer is 6.1 again due to his age (21) and RFA years remaining.
- Codes1087

Exactly! That’s what I meant when I said the Canes QO is gonna be ridiculous (if he does in fact accept and get traded)

They can extend him before having to qualify him can’t they?

If Montreal matches they can't trade him for a year, due to the offer sheet rules

with what money?? They currently have zero dollars (until Weber’s LTIR - but they don’t have that until first day of the season) they’re FAWKED

6.1 isn't hefty if he can fulfill the role of a 2C. He's only 21.

First of all, I’m not advocating to pay him $72+m over 8 years. I’ve just said that to buy those years will be costly, that’s what guys are getting paid.

Secondly, that the team has been unable to graduate even a single other full time D through the draft is deplorable.

Jim has created this mess himself. The salary structure he’s set for this team is his own doing. You think Hughes should earn less than $6m (Myers), or $8.25m (OEL)? He’s better than both those guys already - at both ends of the ice.

Wow.

Sutter was a better "2C" then Kok will ever be...this is beyond foundational in reach and pay.

- Shuswap Wap

why would he agree to that if he’s automatically gonna get 6.1 on a QO?

Oof. I respect your opinion but could not disagree more

wow

Fantastic move by the hurricanes.

Love it . I think any team that gets OS should always return the favor.

Depends on whether he stays for longer than a year. They lose a 1st and 3rd rounder as compensation. Seems steep for 1 year of Kotkaniemi.

I think Montreal has to match.

It’s hefty for KK

Check out Comtois, Jost and Chytil contracts - those are more accurate comparables = age, points, centres

You know the player has to want an offer sheet, right?

Oof. I respect your opinion but could not disagree more
- Codes1087

Seems your evaluation of Kok is high like a grass is greener syndrome. Would it be a reach to say if Kok was a Canuck you'd be rejoicing getting the draft picks on the OS?

This is absolutely retaliation the signing bonus is $20 on the contract offer which is Aho's number this is going to be very interesting!

There is no way that KK could turn down that kinda $$ tho.


Lebrun: Hurricanes did try to trade for Kotkaniemi instead over the past several days but nothing that came close to making the Habs interested. So Dundon gets his offer sheet revenge.
Anyway, enjoy the fun everyone.

Exactly - KK has agreed to the offer, balls in MGs court now

That would answer any doubt then how much Canucks will pay Petey then

It has nothing to do with who I am a fan of.

If Montreal doesn't match, jake Evans is their new 2c with danault gone and their 1st and 3rd round picks are likely late as the Canes will still be a great eastern team next year. If Canes get KK, their top 9 is super deep and talented. Bo is our 2c at 5.5, if KK is their 2c at 6.1 for 2 more Years and his line mates are Nino and necas, he will be putting up good numbers. A 2C anywhere between 5 and 7 million aav is the going rate around the league.

The Habs scratched romanov for merril and Kulak in the playoffs too lol

Hahaha based on what? The 5 goals he scored last year or the fact That 11 goals is his best to date. He’s not a great distributor and barely plays special teams. He’s barely a 3rd line center and you honestly think he’s worth 5-6mil?? That’s absolutely insane. If this OS didn’t happen I guarantee you the Habs best offer would have come in around 2.25 bcus that’s exactly what he’s worth.
