Imports Dragon has pulled out all the stops for their local star, 19-year old Jesperi Kotkaniemi. The star Centre is one of just three players in the NHL who was born in 2000. Now, he has one of the most coveted figures in the history of the line. You cannot order this figure in the United States. Furthermore, the only way to get it is to go to the Bell Centre in Montreal; or your local Jean Coutu if you're in Montreal directly.
I've had several Montreal natives searching for me to get this figure and they're not easy to come by.
I spent the day learning about 'KK', here's Kotkaniemi's full scouting report here.
Finally, when I find a way to land this figure I will definitely report back. It's cool to have a great young player in a city like Montreal. That's one of my hockey bucket lists, to see this team play in Montreal; and I've felt that way since reading The Game by Ken Dryden.
Moreover, the Canadiens got their first win tonight; beating up the St. Louis Blues 6-3 in regulation in Montreal. It was a nice upset, and I picked off the Canadiens for a nice bet here. It all feels pretty fateful, with the figure being released.
The kid only saw 11:31 of ice time tonight (Game Summary), but it's nice to have him getting experience with a group like Jonathan Drouin, Shea Weber, Brendan Gallagher, Max Domi, and Tatar.
Coming off a 44-30-8 season, it's going to be interesting to see this team take shape and become one of the top teams in the NHL again. I can't wait to get ahold of this figure.
