In recent minutes, the Carolina Hurricanes have announced the worst possible news to Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
After losing his role in the top-9, after losing his role as a center on the fourth line, now he has outright lost his role in the lineup.Ouch.
It really smells like the end for Kotkaniemi in Carolina. He will have to watch his team's game tonight against the Boston Bruins from the stands.
For nearly $5 million per season until 2030, that hurts a lot.
Let's just say the Hurricanes are no longer boasting about their move with KK.
It's outright sad at this stage, for a player who was so promising and whom many saw as a top-6 center.
It's Jesper Fast who takes Jesperi Kotkaniemi's place.
"Kotkaniemi is having a bad season and is going through a terrible streak, having only scored one assist in his last 11 games.
The former Montreal Canadien had started the season on a high note with 12 points in as many games, but he has significantly slowed down since then and has never regained his cruising speed.
This season, he has settled for 25 points, including 11 goals, in 75 games."
