Latest Fantasy Rumors
Buyout candidate?
Sportsnet's Rory Boylen believes Carolina should consider buying out Kotkaniemi this offseason.
ANALYSIS
Buying out the final six seasons of Kotkaniemi's eight-year, $38.56 million contract would result in a cap charge for the Hurricanes for the next 12 seasons. It would cost Carolina $835,500 for nine years and $455,000 in three campaigns from 2027-28 to 2029-30. Carolina may use a buyout on Kotkaniemi this summer if it needs cap space to sign someone else, but it's a move that could also wait for another season or two.

Kotkaniemi arrived in Carolina last season after signing a one-year, $6.1 million offer sheet in August 2021. The Canadiens declined to match, allowing the No. 3 overall pick from 2018 to leave town. Kotkaniemi played all of last season at age 21, so time is on his side, but his 12 goals and 29 points in 66 games make the contract seem like a massive overpay. Clearly believing in Kotkaniemi's ability, Carolina doubled down and signed him to a new eight-year, $38.5 million extension this past March. Kotkaniemi may get there eventually given his pedigree, but it's unlikely to happen in 2022-23, making him a fade in most fantasy formats.
