The Carolina Hurricanes social media team has been on it today as they troll the Montreal Canadiens on their offer sheet for Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
Sometimes revenge comes in a delayed fashion, and the troll train is much sweeter that way. A few years back, the Montreal Canadiens provided an offer sheet to Sebastian Aho a few years back. If you don’t know, the offer sheet was a waste of time, but it made for good entertainment.

With Montreal’s antics a few years back, the Carolina Hurricanes patiently waited for their moment. They just needed to strike at the right time, partnered with enough ammo to pull the perfect troll.
Now… the time has come.
The Carolina Hurricanes pulled an Uno Reverse Card, google translate and $20 as they throw shade to the Canadiens in their offer sheet
The Hurricanes announced their tender for an offer sheet to the Canadiens to acquire Jesperi Kotkaniemi. It sounds uninteresting at face value until you check their twitter page and see the troll fest that’s been going on.

And it gets better, they even put it in French.
Les Hurricanes ont annoncé aujourd’hui avoir déposé une offre hostile au joueur autonome avec restriction Jesperi Kotkaniemi des Canadiens de la Montreal. L’entente proposée est d’une durée de un ans et d’une valeur annuelle moyenne de 6,1 millions $.

Finally, they added the Uno Reverse Card and a $20 signing bonus (Aho’s number)… because the people will never forget the day the Canadiens tried the Hurricanes.

You have to give credit where credit is due. The Canes don’t forget and they kept their fingers on the trigger for the right moment to troll teams to oblivion. They’re not new to this, they’re true to this.
