Kot-CANE-emi

Jesperi Kotkaniemi is a member of the Caroline Hurricanes. Jeff and Elliotte break down what went wrong between Kotkaniemi and Montreal Canadiens (00:01), why it’s challenging to find a quality centre in the NHL (Christian Dvorak traded to the Canadiens), what Carolina expects from Kotkaniemi, and if teams will view offer sheets differently going forward. They also discuss other possible offer sheet candidates like Brady Tkachuk (26:30), provide an update on a pair of contract negotiations — Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes (28:00) as well as Kirill Kaprizov (28:30), and the guys wrap up the podcast by saying a few words about the late Jimmy Hayes (34:00). This podcast is produced and mixed by Amil Delic, and hosted by Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman. Audio Credits: Sportsnet.
