Kotkaniemi can shake hands with puljujarvi 🤝, two busts
Patterns have emerged with Kotkaniemi – ha can't skate at an NHL level. Never could.
It might be an attitude problem. When he was with Montreal, he had so many players around him who were "go getters". Like Perry and Ghal and Cole Suzuki etc etc. They are driven players. So obviously he had an ego going to Carolina. If the players on Carolina are not surrounding him with that go get attitude ask what's going on in the locker room. KK is a good Playoff bound player but at over 4 million is it worth it?
I am a diehard Habs fan BUT was never a Bergevin fan BUT Bergy deserves a medal for letting KK slide to the Canes in that offer sheet fiasco!!!!
Canes got EXACTLY WHAT THEY DESERVED for trying to "stick it" to the Habs for offer sheeting Aho!!! Despite it all…KK will laugh all the way to the bank. If he doesn't turn his game around, he'll probably get bought out and go back to Finland with a truckload of $$$ and play at home and NEVER lose a minute of sleep over this whole mess. He and Nail Yakapov will start a support group…😂
KK showed us the finger on his way out and Canes rubbed it in. This is beautiful
Kotkaniemi is playing, according to the box score. He has one shot. A season high.
He is a punk and is on a roll with 10 points in the last 53 games! No character so hopefully won't make the same mistake by trading for Zegras.
in mtl we liked him the first year but the he sucked
The way he left Montreal was really a middle finger…I remember when he was considered by some as better than Suzuki…gee, I wonder how that debate is going…I do not wish him I’ll will, but I do not wish him good will.
Plain and simple , to all Cans fans “how about them apples”morons?
I would LMFAO if KK get buyout!
Ok this is going to be a long one. KKs demise is a mix of Montreal mismanagement of his training program and his impatience. In Montreal he was overrated and needed better training. Since he never got that, KK was simply an underwhelming player. So when Carolina did their move to obtain him. It was actually a blessing for Montreal and could have been a blessing for KK. But Carolina screwed it up by offering him a contract that was way to rich for a player of his caliber. He was simply never able to perform in that expensive caliber. And now his world is coming to a crash. KK is simply a victim of poor management. What goes around, comes around.
Ya frig off Russia no more writing to u haha
Y can't u accept a lesser offer from Ukraine Russia ?
This war is a stalemate
Russia just hates me cause I'm the French Royal Family
But I may be slavic /Baltic/Russian too though
