Jesperi Kotkaniemi has been a public enemy in Montreal for some time now. After being drafted 3rd overall by the team in 2018, Kotkaniemi wasted little time before exiting after signing an offer sheet with the Carolina Hurricanes.
Nonetheless, Kotkaniemi has yet to completely live up to his massive $38.56 million contract. He scored only 43 points last season but will look to build off of it with the Hurricanes as it is his career high.
