Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin confirmed that Jesperi Kotkaniemi will be staying with the Habs, at least for the time being.
Bergevin addressed the media at the Bell Sports Complexe in Brossard, where he also discussed the return of Shea Weber, the impact of Max Domi and the chemistry in the team at the moment.
Here are some of the highlights:
“The plan is to keep him in Montreal, but in 10 to 15 games if we see he’s struggling, we’ll reassess. But, things are going well for him so far.” – Marc Bergevin on Jesperi Kotkaniemi#GoHabsGo

“We’re not going to rush him. When he’s ready, he’ll play. He’ll be a big addition when he’s back. The sooner the better, but we’re not going to rush him.” – Marc Bergevin on Shea Weber#GoHabsGo

“I think one of the reasons we’ve had success so far is that we have balance throughout our lineup. That’s the makeup of our team. We have guys that keep going, keep going, keep going every night. That’s why we’ve had success so far.” – Marc Bergevin#GoHabsGo
