Eric Engels got Montreal Canadiens fans talking with his recent mailbag on Sportsnet. The biggest thing to come out of it was the likely possibility of Ilya Kovalchuk returning to the team over the summer. Kovalchuk was another low-risk, high-reward signing by Marc Bergevin that not only paid off performance-wise but got the organization a third-round pick at this year’s draft. That was the biggest, but the information on Jesperi Kotkaniemi caught my eye the most.
Kotkaniemi ran into a lot of bad luck this season.
