The NHL has made hostile offers to Sebastian Aho and Kotkaniemi. Unlike Bergevin and Waddell, the other general managers in the league are afraid to offer. Will the Canadiens-Carolina GM "war" thaw their counterparts? I wish. Let go of unwritten rules. Making friends isn't a GM's job. So why not sign a talented player?
Surely. After all, the team and the player haven't agreed on anything. Plus, the Canucks have only $10 million left under the salary cap and must sign Pettersson and Quinn Hughes...
Yvon Pedneault would target J.T. Miller as well. Unlike Pettersson, Miller has a two-year contract. It's impossible to hit both forwards. It'd be too costly, and the Habs don't have $30 million. A possibility if KK leaves for Carolina.
