The taunting in French now seems like a playground attempt to get the Habs to match.
I think this backfired on the Canes big time..... Who doesn't match an offer sheet......oopps
The Canes have filled the hole they created when they traded Warren Foegele for Ethan Bear. over the last 2 seasons Foegele has been a much better player than KK
Warren Foegele 6-2 198 25 years old 3 x 2.750
121 games 23 goals 50 pts .41 ppg +12 47 ES pts 3 SH pts 13:54 TOI/game
Kotkanemi 6-2 198 21 years old 1 x 6.100035
92 games 11 goals 28 pts .3 ppg -12 21 ES pts 14:02 TOI/game
Having Kotkanemi as #3LW doesn't make the Canes a better team than they were in
20-21
Ethan Bear might be lacking in replacing Dougie Hamilton's 40 pts from defense.

Anyone offer sheeting Kotkanemi isn't worried about his ppg vs a player that is five years older.
They're buying more into the 3rd overall pick level projection.
That's the gamble. Looking at two and a half years of counting stats (two of those seasons nuked by covid and shortened) isn't the best way to assess the value.
