He and Puljujarvi are the same.

For so many years Habs/Canes and Oilers fans have been hyping them up as huge breakout stars based on decent underlying numbers, but neither can't put it together. Both have 3 points while their linemates have 15+

I'd honestly rather Engvall

Engvall isn't good defensively, he's got FAR worse offensive numbers, and plays a far less valuable position. Not to mention, Engvall is 4 years older than KK. Stop it bud. A much more genuine comparison to Kotkaniemi is young Jordan Staal. Even the cup final appearance while still on his ELC. But go off because you're clueless.

Puljujarvi plays a FAR less valuable position, is older, and hasn't proven he can be clutch in the playoffs. Kotkaniemi's underlyings are FAR better than Puljujs. KK has put it together. You're just utterly cluessles buddy. Honestly, look at any analytics site, any Canes game. Anything but base points. Put a little effort in.

This is why you're not an NHL GM

I'd honestly rather Engvall

Jordan Staal at the same age wasn't on pace for 15 points while getting top 6 minutes, and his playoff performances werent due to a Covid cup and weak division realignments.

Same. At least you know what you're getting and you're not blinded by delusion.

"Weak division realignments"

Are you saying that he didn't score clutch goals against Toronto? He wasn't extremely important in getting through Vegas? Even avoiding being swept by Tampa. Stop.

The Canes are why NHL players are still paying escrow

One ECF run and Canes fans have become some of the most toxic and naive fans I have ever witnessed. Right up there with Isles fans and Sens fans as of this off season

Ahhh, lets ignore the season with your Montreal Canadiens then yeah? Just because that is convenient! Stupid little human being.

I was arguing that with Ottawa fans yesterday and acted innocent when I told them they were overhyping their unproven team.

It's been fun to watch that meltdown this year.

I watched that entire cup run. He scored a big one against Toronto. He had one against Vegas (wasn't that important though) and was literally a healthy scratch for the final two games against Tampa. He didn't even play in game 4 (where they avoided the sweep). He had nothing to do with the Finals.

Also I love how this was a conversation about Sean Monahan and its now been 20 mins of this guy defending Kotkaniemi LOL

5 goals 8 points that run. Despite being healthy scratched against Toronto AND Tampa because Ducharme was an idiot. You really telling me that isn't a big playoff performance? Is this just because your organization got embarrassed by a "smaller market"? That why this hatred for KK exists? Grow up

Oh I wasn't the one that brought KK up, and I had a conversation about Monahan with someone that wasn't so argumentative. Not my fault that you got distracted.

Embarrassed? The poverty franchise offersheeted a mediocre player three times its worth are stucked with an awful deal as a result lol. They tried to embarrass montreal but they failed miserably. It may have costed them a Cup run if they didnt use those picks and $6M so foolishly.

They got closer to the cup with KK as their third line center than the Canes ever will with him as their second line center lol. Have a good night buddy!

This pigeon is clearly having buyer's remorse and just doubling down on him lol looking like the Canes did MTL a favour offer sheeting KK
