Kotkaniemi has lost his grip on an everyday roster spot with the Hurricanes, which makes him an intriguing trade candidate given his age and the position he plays. The biggest red flag is that a player once prized for his 200-foot ability has seen a big dip in his ability to drive play this season. Kotkaniemi’s typically inconsistent offensive numbers have trended hard in the wrong direction, as well. He still has four seasons remaining on his contract beyond this one, albeit at a reasonable cap number, and only has limited control of the situation via a 10-team no-trade list.
