Montreal Canadiens 21 year old centre Jesperi Kotkaniemi has signed an offer sheet with the Carolina Hurricanes.
The one-year, $6.1 million contract is going to be a difficult one for Habs general manager Marc Bergevin to deal with. Does he overpay his young centre greatly, or does he let the big middle man with big potential leave town for first and third round draft picks?
Those picks would be from the 2022 NHL Draft, one that will be held in Montreal at the Bell Centre next June.
