Thread: whats the take on KK
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>Good ole liljerry, nothing better to do than waiting for another KK thread to open. Non playoff team life is good i guess. I do love the hyperbole of other fans though about KK. Its very refreshing to see homers of their own players try to call out other homers.

To the question. Kk isnt as bad as his stats suggest. His 4C demotion was because he didn’t mesh well with Necas this season and Drury did. Kk is driving offense but no one is finishing his passes and he has rang a few posts. Is he worth keeping? Idk. We are precipice of that decision. At 4.85 million, probably not. We aren’t paying to move him. A 800k buyout is less than 1% of the cap.

A team like zona may be interested as they don’t have many actual centers. May not be. If, say Blake wasn’t interested in signing a deal, for whatever reason, could we do a Kk and Blake swap for Schmaltz as a base? Schmaltz will be getting paid nearly double KK’s real money next year and that matters to Zona. They get a winger they can bring to the league if they want plus whatever is coming their way.

The O.S wasn’t a mistake. Our 1st and 3rd pick ls had a very low chance of making the league, needless to say playing 3 full seasons with us. So despite that same Sabres fans obsession, it wasn’t a mistake. His OS was done in week 6 of the offseason so it isn’t like we missed out on anyone in FA that year. Seeing how this team doesn’t go big in FA either, it would be hard to argue his 4.85 million in cap space prevented us from signing anyone.</div></div>

Jiri Kulich, Matt Poitras. The Canes next two picks were forwards as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac2000</b></div><div>Why would they consider moving him? xGF/60 north of 3, ELITE defensive metrics, and the worst PDO of any Cane this year. He's been unlucky, not bad. Canadian hockey fans want to call him bad because of his time in Montreal, but he's coming off a 40 point year and even in a down year this year, he still can hit 30. Don't touch that contract. There are ways to keep Kotkaniemi and re-sign Guentzel, and almost all of them involve doing the smart thing. Moving Jordan Staal. Kotkaniemi with some offensively gifted linemates will be a 50 point guy, there are the signs of it. Watch him and its evident. He'll set up Brendan Lemieux whose all alone and Lemieux will hit the netting above the glass, or a cross-crease pass to a defenseman sneaking in that ends up going back into the slot or something dumb. Don't touch it.</div></div>

wasn't he paired up with Tuevo and Necas at one point?
