This is obviously only practice, but I’ll never understand how he dropped to 5.

literally every nhl player can do this

No shortcuts, no excuses—just pure determination. 💥 Are you ready to see who has what it takes? #SurvivingMann #NoLimits #NavySEALs #AmericanSheriff #SpecOps #LawEnforcement #TacticalTraining

Because he misses wide open nets in practice?

His release looks like Bedard’s lol

I thought the same thing

I don’t understand how the 2 teams that took forwards passed on him. Makes sense for the Hawks taking a dman but not for cbj and ana

Because teams are overthinking, they are trying to look like a genius by drafting a guy like kotkaniemi, few years later you realize its a bust.

this looks like a beer league warmup lol. anyone can do this...

Russian…. Told teams he didn’t know when he would come over And he told the Habs they are the only team he would play for but other than that I’m not sure lol

If he doesn’t play Monday I’ll be livid

I think we really downplay the Russian factor. Teams were scared he'd sign an extension with SKA. Not everyone has a Nick Bobrov who can just fly over to St. Petersburg and just chat with a player
