Didn't they just beat the Oilers twice?



The Sharks had like 13 shots total Blackwood is keeping the games close so far. 0-1-1 .926

Kotkaniemi PPG with 4 primary points in 4 games.

Outproduces Suzuki and Dach combined this year ? Any takers ?

Here's a couple of takes i had on the subject :

Out of Town Thread: Part 14

I'll never understand the desire of habs fans for former players to do poorly on other teams. It's a pretty obvious reaction to people who obsess about players that are no longer with the team and are used as wedges to criticize the management and coaching.

Canes Offer Sheet KK (6.1 for 1 yr) Part II

So we can't match it ? I guess we have to trade someone before matching it.. if that's what we want. I am going off CapFriendly's numbers. And although they are as precise as anyone out there, I can't say with full certainty they they have their numbers 100% right.

Canes Offer Sheet KK (6.1 for 1 yr) Part II

I disagree with you. At least for the Canes players, every agent will use it as a comparable. Just like Marner and Matthews use Tavares contract as a comparable, even if he was a UFA when he signed that contract. Like I said before, whoever get Kotkaniemi at this price will screw their salary...

"He's better surrounded/has better linemates"
"His team isn't rebuilding"
"He'd play 4th line here (or injured)"
"Did he get those points on his ass?"

KK is gone
The guy that let KK walk is gone
The guy that drafted KK is gone

But he's still in your heads living rent free.

Amazing

Good takes overall.

I love the crow thats about to be served. Its funny that a lot of Slaf's best knights were KKs harshest critics.

What's the chance that *every of our latest 1st rounders (including Dach) will have troubles growing up in the NHL while playing for the Habs? ._.

I don't know about combined (unless dachvis out all season), but he could quite easily finish @ ppg and/or outpointing anyone in the Habs.

He's well on his way to making that extension look like a steal for the Canes.

How quickly so many Habs fans gave up on, then got downright nasty about the player, always was silly. So many fans simply don't get player development nor have the ability to see anything beyond the stat line when evaluating players.

A lot of similar hot takes & blindness about Slaf, only difference is how quickly the peanut gallery started to sour on him.

Hopefully Slaf ends up feeding them crow the same way JKO is, and will continue to, in the years ahead.

Rick tell your boss he needs to acquire homeboy Gallagher “to make them ‘Nucks hard”

I wrote back in the day that KK would probably be better than Suzuki long term and people laughed at me. His advanced stats were just better despite the production not being there.

And now he's 23, the age MB/Timmins said he would be "ready". He might not stay ppg this season, but he finished last season with 18 pts in 22 games with less than 16 minutes of TOI (under 2m of PP). He's having more PP time this season (currently around 3m per game), so 65-75 pts isn't out of the question if he keep that pace.

Big mistake to get a goalie that can steal games in a tank year. I hear Ivan Prosvetov could be available…

 

[Yasuo]

The worst was habs fans on the main boards always saying how KK will never amount to anything or how much off a bust he is or how much Canes got fleeced by that contract. Now it's looking more like the Canes did well.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I don't think KK will be an 80 point player but I hope he does well. Hated the way he was handled here.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Norris with 2 in his return.

Has basically missed the same time as Dach will

Sens offense gonna be crazy good if Norris can be the same player he was 2 years ago

Can't with Ovy there, but he does have his cup.

We’ll see. They is a good chance they crash and burn this season.

He woud certainly be able to center a third line on this club and actually free up Monahan for a top 6 slot where he obviously should be playing. Just a bad bad move losing him in the manner we did.

 

[DAChampion]

I expect Kotkaniemi to succeed in Carolina and I doubt that he would have made it in Montreal.

I still remember some of the dumb takes that Dvorak would easily do better than Kotkaniemi. Certain posters went on, and on, and on.

Ovy will struggle to score at the rate he needs to top the charts IMO. He needs like 35 goals per season for the next 4.
