Coming out of last summer, there were a lot of new faces in the City of Oaks. Without a shadow of a doubt, the one that attracted the most attention was Jesperi Kotkaniemi who came to Carolina after an offer sheet that was subjected to ridicule and speculation. However, there was a player included in this offer sheet so how did Jesperi Kotkaniemi fare during his first season as a member of the Hurricanes?
Well, back in October, the idea was to try Kotkaniemi as a winger. He had played left-wing before during his time with the Montreal organization and it seemed like it was worth trying the Pori, Finland native out on a line with the other Finnish forwards.
