I never blamed him for taking the OS. Go and get your money, good on you. But this is just pathetic.

I don't begrudge the OS, it's his shitty attitude and blaming of everyone but himself for his lack of success. This mindset doesn't just change and will effect him the rest of his career, which I hope there's very little left of in the NHL.
Never figured him for an entitled little shit but I couldn't have been more wrong. What a colossal disappointment he turned out to be.

I have mixed feelings - the Duch really made weak calls benching the kids for washed up vets all playoffs but at the same time kk really has to look in the mirror here and see the issues he had in his game before acting like he’s already an established superstar. Sucks all around.

i mean, kid only contributed to 3 game-winning goals leading up the Cup Finals. Let's not pretend anyone wouldn't feel disrespected in that situation.

I didn't agree with him getting scratched for games 4 and 5 of the finals or to start the playoffs but to get your representatives to tell the Habs he's likely played his last game as a Hab because he got scratched makes him look like a spoiled and entitled little brat, if this story is indeed true.
So long Cockyniemi. May you continue to keep falling on your ass 20 times every game.

Will be interesting to see how he handles playing 15 mins a night as a top 9 winger in Carolina. His usage is going to be very similar to how he was used in Montreal other then he won't be playing top 6 or C. I think they are going to give him a push but don't think he has the chops to outplay any of their existing top 9, and if they force him into that position, they are going to have other personnel issues.
This whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense. He is not a player that helps the Canes win now, and the team KK is going to looks pretty set in the top 9. So good on him for getting 6MM and a path to FA but I'm having a hard time seeing how long term this is good for him.

KK sat out 3-games, Habs won two of them
Dom Dom’s roster decisions contributed in getting the team to the Cup finals...

Be pissed off about it for sure, but enough to say you're never playing for the team again because of getting benched? Kid needs to get a grip.
in the same way that the decision to keep Staal in the lineup led to the Cup finals loss (directly, seeing as Staal's blunder led to the series-clinching goal for the bolts), no doubt.

Staal played his role well on that 4th line, which was consistently good for us the whole playoffs. KK isn't physically mature enough to replace Staal on that line. Regardless, KK was replaced by Evans, not Staal, which was the right choice.

And Teamers will teams!
But yeah, KK sounds like an entitled brat for sure and I don't throw these around much. And the timing was so poor, I mean he was now finally slotted as our second C. Talk about being clueless...

When i saw him raise 4 fingers it looked odd and selfish. You simply don't display a selfish look-at-me-moi on a cup run. It's only and absolutely about the TEAM.
This selfish POS turned out to be what those fingers was all about him. The proven NOTHING other then a 3C.
Now im glad he's gone because we were facing disaster if we hoped he turned inro a 2C.
In every sense of the words
...good riddence....and i hope one of our Mountains land on his face....and wipes off that clown smile.

Didn't you hear from his apologist? The coaches made him fall on his ass...and apparently so did Bbinz.
This is a huge blow for those who put him on a pedastal. He's more diaper worthy then praise worthy.
Good riddence...

Don't forget that Bouchard said that KK needs to listen to the coaches instead of saying "yes, but" and MB's press conference was kinda saying similar thing about KK needing to follow instructions better.

so you're comparing KK to a two time Conn Smythe winner at the time of his departure...?
yet he was very very bad for many games when he was scratched. We had a coach trying to get montreal its first cup in ages. So KK's emotions should have been farthest from his mind
