Pretty ridiculous on behalf of the Canes. I love the troll but it’s somewhat irresponsible, no?
If MTL has to let him go, the canes acquire KK, he’s a 21 year old kid that’s not even established in the league going to a team that doesn’t have any real interest in him.. could ruin his career in all honesty
Unless he wanted out which is a different story
I think it's pretty genius tbh, it's petty af but holy fuck top tier trolling on top of sweet revenge 10/10.
They fuck up MTL by forcing them to overpay for him when they need to add some help after losing some key players this season, and matching the offer puts them over like 2m above the cap and the very least fuck up their original plan for this off season. It also helps KK cuz habs gotta qualify him for his next contract.
Canes are going for a run now, so adding a 21 yr old kid that's clutch in playoffs and more depth to their team for 1st/3rd isn't too shabby. KK can also choose to sign for less with Canes if he loves it there since they "overpaid" him and helped him out with negotiations with lolhabs. Sort of offset and balance the value for next contract without qualifying him, or he can sit out rest of the season without being paid, only to sign with another team for same or less with another team..
