MB should let him walk. How do you pay a $2.5M (approximately) player over $6M? He can use the money to pursue a blue chip veteran Center like Hertl, via trade, or wait until next summer to sign a big time UFA. This Offer Sheet could be a blessing in disguise for the Habs. It's not just a question of cap space and it's not just a 1-year commitment. I look at this as an opportunity for MB to make this team more competitive.

From my understanding looks like Montreal opted not to match the offer. Kotkeniemi is officially a hurricane.

Everybody should put "yes" here. This is a purely retaliatory offer sheet. This whole situation is all on Bergevin. It's entirely his damn fault.


literal horrible move for Carolina. smart move by bergevin "his fault" lol

I agree completely, and Montreal likely be able to sign KK for for 3 next summer when he is a UFA... wink

Just announced today: Jake Gardiner is out the whole year, saving Carolina's cap space. Shocker 🙄😂

Let him walk. I don't think the Canes are going to be good this year, so this could be a great first round pick.


that didn't age while lol

No. No it did not. I also thought the Islanders were going to win it all this year, so it hasn't been a good year for predictions from me.

Great to kk, hes gonna play 1 season and either carolina qualifies him and he gets another 6 millio or they dont and hes a ufa at what 22.


It's amazing to go back almost 3 years and see what our reactions were.
I think it's fair to say this OS+contract has been horrible for KK.
But it was also horrible for Mtl. Annndd, it may have ruined 3 careers: KK, Bergy and Dvorak, who has never fit in Mtl.
If Carolina loses someone like Necas because they have to hold onto KK, it can start to unravel quickly.
I think KK needs to be bought out now and given a shot elsewhere.
