The Carolina Hurricanes are continuing to troll the Montreal Canadiens. At around 10:30 AM ET, their social media team put out a tweet that read “patiently waiting” along with a GIF of a Canes player waving.
Kotkaniemi, 21, had five goals and 15 assists in 56 games last season. In three NHL seasons, all with Montreal, the No. 3 overall pick in 2018 has scored 22 goals and added 40 assists in 171 games.
The Habs have until 5 PM ET today to match the offer-sheet to Kotkaniemi of 1 year at $6.
