RALEIGH, NC - Don Waddell, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has tendered an offer sheet to restricted free agent forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi. The one-year contract, which Kotkaniemi has signed, pays a salary of $6,100,015 for the 2021-22 season and carries a $20 signing bonus. The Montreal Canadiens have seven days to match the offer. If the Canadiens do not match the offer, they will receive a first-round pick and a third-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft as compensation from the Hurricanes.

Cap numbers are below.

We currently show the #Canes as having $4,576,417 in projected cap space based on a roster of 22 players (12F - 8D - 2G).

That would tentatively put them $1,523,598 over the cap if Montreal does not match the Offer Sheet.https://t.co/uqtIMQ5HGK
