turns out kk wasn't that good to begin with

i just now saw it in ek's thread so i don't know all the details but this offer sheet seems kinda stupid to me. the fact that it's revenge makes it seem even dumber. and the $20 thing makes it seem kind of pathetic.

The habs should take the pics and sign or trade for a 3rd line center replacement

If Montreal matches the Offer Sheet, then under NHL rules Kotkaniemi CANNOT be traded for one full year --- which just happens to be the length of the contract.

So don’t match and try to find a Center with our 2 first rounder and a prospect…

They're going into the season with raanta and andersen, who have a combined ½ a groin.

That 1st could be good.

Kotkaniemi Is a 3rd liner at best and worth about 2.2 million annually right now, Cool move by Carolina. Montreal Is a trainwreck.

they lost their best defenseman for nothing, have no goalies and will now enjoy KK at 6M. yikes
- deadpoulet


So true…. You never fix a mistake by another one…

KK should never have been picked that early to start with…

Poor KK…. Never funny to be overpaid in that league…. His agent did a very big mistake….

KK was not able to perform with 0 pressure…. Now at $6M, this will be funny to see…. Imagine Bergie decides to equal that offer…. And the booing at the Bell Centre….

I think he is gone….

what movie did you see? I'm struggling to find anything good to watch these days.

and about KK, on récolte ce que l'on sème, that kind of move from the canes was definitely to be expected...it sucks because it complicates things at center, while they weren't necessarily very solid at that position to begin with. gonna be interesting to see if MB can pull the trigger for a top C, or if they simply go with the guys that are left.

Went to see Respect today, movie about Aretha Franklin and saw Stillwater a couple of weeks ago, both very different but very good. Also enjoyed Black Widow, the play of Scarlett Johanson and Florence Pugh really worked well.

Et oui MB récolte ce qu’il a semé, non seulement pour l’offer sheet, mais pour l’utilisation de KK aussi. Plate mais c’est ça...

noice. I should go to the movies soon, I have over 20,000 points on my "Scene" card, so basically I can see a bunch of movies for free.

I'm kinda surprised at the 6M, considering how cheap the canes have been lately in terms of dishing out contracts (except for the recent Svechnikov deal) , but it's just for one year so I guess it makes sense. we certainly can't blame KK for accepting the offer lol.

Worth 2.2M/ Paying 6.1M, a 1st and a 3rd. They must really want him with that one year offer. Cool? Nah,strange.

Well they let Nedelkovich go, they lost Hamilton, they had to do something to get some good PR lol the 1 year deal tells me they know KK isnt worth that right now, but think he may be in the future...it’s a show us what u can do deal i guess

yup, as well as a "here's a little token of our appreciation for that time you offersheeted Aho" deal lol... I really doubt MB will match, and the picks could come in handy, but I would've rather kept KK, I think he'll turn into a very decent player.

Yeah this situation (frank)ing sucks, even if I think the Canes are screwing themselves with this deal. At least the amount for Aho was sensible, this amount is idiotic. Never even cracked 15 goals... Anyway it's done now. KK was worth more than a 1 and 3, but not with that horrible contract situation. Let Carolina surrender their picks to us and screw themselves with a bad contract.

it's a rather generous offer but I guess that's kind of the point behind Waddell's intention of trying to screw Bergevin over. and besides it's only for a year, so it isn't that turrible either if you have the cap space.

- Pat1993

It's not just the fact it's a year, it's the fact that forces the qualifying offer to be the same, so if he plays like poop, Carolina either qualifies him for that garbage deal again or loses a 1rst and 3rd for a year of garbage. Or we take on the problem and don't get the picks. The choice is clear imo. I think KK could potentially become good down the line, but taking on this problem isn't worth it imo.
