Value of: Jesperi Kotkaniemi

[SoundAndFury]

In a vacuum, maybe not.

For a team up against the cap that has Cup aspirations like Carolina, it's fair to ask if that $4.8M is wisely spent on him.

Exactly this. Leafs fans are acting like Kampf is sinking the ship and have gotten rid of multiple 3 mil Ds at this point because they are overpaid by around a million. On most teams, Kotkaniemi wouldn't be discussed. He is just because of the way Canes got him and the position they are in.

It was the same way with the Kuznetsov trade as well.
