I beleive the canes have overpaid for KK habs looking if they can replace him next year but find nobody so they will probably counter it not because they like it but because they have no choice ! Or just get the picks 1rst and 3rd so they have the cap space to sign long term Suzuki and Caulfield
Watch this blow up in the Hurricanes faces after giving this contract and they lose a 1st & 3rd. Also after the contract expires, he's still an RFA and pretty sure would demand a big raise should he perform well. From a Habs standpoint, they can use those picks as trade value. Bergevin must be saying to Mr. Budget GM "Go ahead, take him, it's your problem to deal with a 6.1M cap hit. Plus I can make good use with those draft picks. You put yourself in this situation".
A tough decision? Bro this is a NO BRAINER for Montreal. Take the 1st and 3rd draft picks let the canes overpay for who is a probable mid 6 guy and draft well with hour picks in return. A bottom 6 center isn't always easy to replace, but is replaceable.
Carolina tried to trade for Kotkaniemi. Montreal wanted a 1st/3rd/prospect Carolina offered sheet Kotkaniemi. They want this Hockey player. Aho/Teravainen/Kotkaniemi all Finnish line.
Aho's Offer Sheet was 'fair', Kotkaniemi's Offer Sheet 'reeks' of Revenge. My question is on what JK's agent was thinking , and how can JK look Bergevin straight in the eyes if he re-signs with Montreal. The Deal Has Been Done , it just awaits Bergevin's acknowledgement.
I think this is a bad image for KK. carolina is making it very obvious that they're only doing it to get back at mtl, they even wrote lol on their tweet. If I'm a player in that situation I wouldn't accept a trade if it's not for him as a player but just a revenge scheme against mtl. For me it says you would rather go to a team that gives you more money without caring who you are rather than stay with the team that drafted your 3rd and whose fans love you. I get he's upset cause he got benched but at such a young age it can happen.
easy choice for MTL, take the picks and take a few of our 1000 wingers and trade them for dvorak or monahan, or perhaps offersheet 11mil for petterson or package for Eichel. All of those are better, and more achievable than KK.
Shouldnt have won in 2006 either.Thats how far back I'm pissed about the Canes.Can anyone say Bettman.Lets build hockey in the US.This is a huge problem.American teams GM.Not done yet.
Not really a feud, it's a very clearcut offer. Give the Canes a 3rd overall pick for a low 1st and 3rd pick or match his salary of $6.1mil and ship someone out of town…
Caught in the middle? He gladly put himself in this position, accepting the 20 $ bonus knowing what it meant. He is not caught in the middle he wanted to be in the middle
What I find ironic is Bergevin thought he was smart when he tried to poach Aho when in reality he was making Waddell's life easier. While Waddell has forced Bergevin to make some difficult decisions. Did Bergevin think there would be no consequences?
Who in their right mind would look at an offer that is three times what they thought they would get, and not sign it. This is "professional" hockey. Kotkaniemi could be injured in two years and his career is over. The players play and the owners pay, that's the deal.
Frank is right; dumb stuff like this is so much fun to watch, and the NBA is a prime example of a league that knows how to market it's product. I hope the NHL can get there some day.
Good for Jesperi 👍Take the money and run Brother.. Montreal won't even get a sniff of the playoffs next season! As for the Habs and their Dinosaur of a GM? What goes around comes around 😆
Canes could have signed a $6.1M player with the money, but instead they got a $2M player and will also lose a 1st and a 3rd round pick in a good draft year. What a bunch of dummies Lol
He signed on the dotted line ….. these journalists are idiots like listening to paint dry Get it strait KK is a bust his skating is not off to snuff period. The Canadians are winners here KK can’t hold them hostage any more. KK is also wins here he’s now very well over payed. The losers are the Canes 6 million for a 30 point guy lol …. Egg on their face plus the first and second rounder lol 😂 They trade that up for Dvorak hahaha a real center with skill and size lol bye Fn bye KK good luck lol Who’s the Aho now 😂

Maybe The Canes can find a helmet that fits KK. That's the real reason he wants to move on from the toilet seats!

All this talk about a player the average hockey fan knows nothing about.

👍👍Bergevin on hot seat…lol. And all you hockey fans check out coach Frenchy from "Hockey Nation live show " great show and great coach

Canes show their garbage.

He signed the offer sheet. So not stuck anywhere…….
Never offer sheet the other team will get you back
He saw things going downhill in Montreal with Danault leaving and Weber getting hurt, so he wants out lol
Habs don't need him take the draft picks and trade them with a little more money for a better player.
When a business decision is made out of spite, I have no respect for it tbh.
MTL should let him go, because you know this wasn't a hockey decision by the 'canes.
Would be a bad decision to match the offer with that in mind.
if bergevin signs him at that… im a hurricanes fan!
Not really a feud, it's a very clearcut offer. Give the Canes a 3rd overall pick for a low 1st and 3rd pick or match his salary of $6.1mil and ship someone out of town…
Take the picks and go. Enough uncertainty in the Habs in the coming years. Why over pay someone who’s average
montreals turned into a commie state. if someone offered me 6 mill, ide sign lol
Gee any potential TC guys named Michael by chance ??
Caught in the middle? He gladly put himself in this position, accepting the 20 $ bonus knowing what it meant. He is not caught in the middle he wanted to be in the middle
I'm just happy that we get rid of him while getting a 1st and a 3rd

This was a head shot. Montreal started it and Carolina ended it.
Who in their right mind would look at an offer that is three times what they thought they would get, and not sign it. This is "professional" hockey. Kotkaniemi could be injured in two years and his career is over. The players play and the owners pay, that's the deal.

Montreal matches and the sues Carolina GM 500million for unfair practices .
I always hate when they compare the NHL to the NBA..NBA is not the gold standard. That league is a joke. Yes it makes money but its not entertaining
Good for Jesperi 👍Take the money and run Brother.. Montreal won't even get a sniff of the playoffs next season! As for the Habs and their Dinosaur of a GM? What goes around comes around 😆
Those hurricanes are just a bunch of jerks lol
Canes could have signed a $6.1M player with the money, but instead they got a $2M player and will also lose a 1st and a 3rd round pick in a good draft year. What a bunch of dummies Lol
He ain't even worth a 3rd pick alone and you got a 1st and a 3rd take that and run.
He signed on the dotted line ….. these journalists are idiots like listening to paint dry Get it strait KK is a bust his skating is not off to snuff period.
The Canadians are winners here KK can’t hold them hostage any more. KK is also wins here he’s now very well over payed. The losers are the Canes 6 million for a 30 point guy lol …. Egg on their face plus the first and second rounder lol 😂
They trade that up for Dvorak hahaha a real center with skill and size lol bye Fn bye KK good luck lol
Who’s the Aho now 😂
Hey, isnt this the same bald hack that said the habs would not get through the loafs???
