So anyone who isn't in the NHL is terrible?
I think it's a pretty cool story, what a career this guy has had.

He's literally won at every level, already has an Olympic Gold, and a career that 99% of players can only dream of. He has nothing left to prove, but apparently you can't accept that the reason he's going is because he still enjoys competing and playing hockey at a high level?

He scored 5 points in 6 games when he did play in a best on best Olympics FWIW.
I always forget he was on Montreal last season. Thought he hadn't played since 2020.

Not particularly. He stayed in Minnesota post career.
Quick 3 hour drive down I-35 for him to get some competitive games in.

Meh, I don't think you are missing out on much not having Kotkaniemi around.

He is still just a couple seasons removed from 19 G 47 pts in 66 games with the Wild.
Not sure how Buffalo and Montreal were using him, but probably just like NYR in 15-16, the first time he was declared washed-up. Play him bottom 6 and that's what you get.
