But what’s gone wrong in Jesperi Kotkaniemi’s career? Why did this season turn out SO BAD for him? Does Carolina even have the space to keep him? And will they be FORCED to play somewhere else next season? Let’s find out!

QOTD: If you're Carolina, what do you do with Kotkaniemi? Do you trade him, buy him out, or just keep him for the future? Let me know!! #GravGang
Another Avs reclamation project 🔜
Revenge might be right around the corner. An offer sheet for Martin Necas would get the Habs that player. The Canes are in such a cap bind, they know it would be a Tavares-like poison pill for them to match it.
remember when canes fans thought they stole him from montreal? loooooooooooooooooool
His contract was made to be bought out if he didn't pan out to his potential. His cap hit would be better spent elsewhere. There really is no loss here considering how well the Cane's draft.
Real winner here is Utah, who got Conor Geekie after trading up the first rounder used in the Dvorak trade.
Montreal should of picked Hughes or tkachuk
ultimate chaos would be montreal offering a offer sheet for necas
And with all that said, he is genuinely worst than Zadina… Hardcore…
That offersheet was bad before it was even signed. The fact that a contender that was supposed to be focused on winning now was instead, more focused on wasting almost 5M for 6 years purely out of spite is just pathetic. That's the kind of hissy fit that you'd expect from a middle schooler, but no, it came from a professional sports franchise. And now, it's become a liability. Deserved.
Necas would look good in orange and black. He could center the future Michkov line.
I wouldn’t give up on a player at 23
STL could convince Torey Krug to waive his NTC and deal him to Carolina for Kotkaniemi straight up.
(Or it could be Justin Faulk, but the Blues would much prefer to deal Krug)
-JK gets a fresh start with less immediate pressure. (Blues are looking at another year or two retool)
-Krug goes to a current cup-level competitor. (Carolina's cup window is now)
-Carolina gets a very good offensive D-man and PP QB who's not bad in his own zone
-St. Louis gets a younger mid-line center to grow with the youth movement under way and clears out one of the NTCs currently creating a logjam on the blueline
Balancing considerations:
-Krug currently makes $1.68 mil more than JK
-JK is signed for 6 more years, Krug for only 3
-Krug's NTC becomes a '15-team list' NEXT Summer
-JK's contract is unencumbered
Someone they isn't on s rush well sign him at he gets bought out. I can see him a team giving him s shot
The canes really wanted to show the habs so much so the stuck there foot in There mouth
Why not Brady Tkachuk the habs needed him
Carolina should call Montreal and ask for Dvorak to replace KK.
Kent Hughes will send him for 15$ 😂
I would take a chance. Can't be much worse than Hayes.
Hayes and 3rd for JK
Maybe Faulk for JK
Krug for JK
This is why I want the Kraken to take their time developing Shane Wright, this is a cautionary tale in player development.
Just imagine if the Habs had Brady Tkachuk like everyone on planet earth thought they were taking….
The rise ? I must have missed it.
Who did Montreal get with the picks they got from Carolina?
If this doesn't scream pick bpa and not for need I don't know what does
easy buyout, we move 🔥🔥
3rd pick overall was Kotkaniemi…. 4th pick Brady Tkachuk!!! Talk about messing up! 75% of the Montreal fans where shouting TKACHUK!!! But the experts knew better…
I don’t necessarily want this to happen but Vancouver might want to see if a kotkiniemi for mikayev trade is possible
Canes fan here…..yeah…
Jordan Stall is not a #2 Center anymore come on my dudes. 3 = good.
Imagine if this was all Bergevin idea from the ludacrest offersheet on Aho, setting the bait and the waiting for the big fish to take it ? Bergevin was playing chess and the other fellow was playing checkers .
Poor kid was rushed to the NHL
there never was a rise 😂😂😂
As an Isles fan, thank God Canes have done something wrong in last few years
Great Video, as usual, Nathan. I think The Montreal Canadiens are Thanking Their Lucky Stars about the Offer Sheet. Let me know what you think
I do believe KK has his place in the NHL and will find his stride eventually, most probably at 3rd line C. I mean, I look at Armia, a player obviously very talented, and it seems he's finally figuring his game out at 30 years old.
I think the destination of choice will be a team that is in the start of middle of a rebuild mode, like you mentioned San Jose & Columbus. Maybe Seattle would look for a bit more offensive punch?
But one thing is for sure, he shouldn't have been drafted 3rd, nor brought straight to the NHL. Realizing Montreal chose him over Hughes, Tkachuk & Dobson stings a lot. And I was one chirping the Sens about KK being better that Brady. I was wrong.
He'll get bought out and then signs in Calgary
drafted by motreal, dude was destined to fail
The whole thing is overblown considering his age and his production to date. His next team will end up with a great deal.
As a Habs fan drafting this guy makes me mad 😡
Marc Bergevin was a petty GM for the Habs and gave an offer sheet to Aho, the the Canes the next year did the same shit and stole KK for the heck of it but not because they thought so much of him.
Another player ruined by poor habs development womp womp womp
it must be summer when a popular Habs podcast actually entertained the idea that they could sign Kotkaniemi next year if he is bought out. Um, why?
He has been victim of unrealistic expectations from the moment he was drafted. It has hurt his development but swelled his pocketbook. I'm guessing money does not buy happiness though.
The problem is Carolina brought his upon themselves. I'm glad that Montreal said their goodbyes to kk
Kotkaniemi had 14 points in the first 15 games
Which means he had 13 in the last 64
how can you think guentzel and jarvis will only cost 15m jake alone is gonna be 10-12m its why Pittsburgh traded him
He needs to play with someone like Crosby or Mackinnon…players with high hockey IQ instead of bums.
