Canadiens forward Nick Suzuki has commented on the hostile offer his teammate Jesperi Kotkaniemi received from the Carolina Hurricanes.
"It's part of the business. It's a nice contract for him and his family. But we, the players, hope the Canadiens will keep his services and I'm sure Bergevin wants him too!"
I would take the 1st and 3rd round from the Canes instead of matching the offer.
