After so many Hab fans we saying Poehling was going to slide into 3C so losing Kotkaniemi was no big deal I just assumed it was going to happen or at least be on the team somewhere. But he couldn’t even make the team? Is he hurt?
He didn't have a good camp, but he could've made it just as much as some vet like Perreault or Paquette however he didn't have to go through waivers. He got injured in Laval (AHL) from a dirty hit to the back of the head, but he's back now and doing very well. I'm still confident he'll be a decent NHL player, just not sure it'll be in Montreal.
FYI our camp as been total shit, our vets didn't show up, coaching staff kept rookies way to long and now this team seems totally lost. Add to that we made it to the cup final last year, Weber retires, Drouin talks about depression, Mailloux pick, Price in re-hab, multiple injuries to start camp/season... recipe for disaster!
