Call it payback with enough entertainment value to send a jolt through a typically uneventful Saturday during the NHL offseason. In signing Jesperi Kotkaniemi to an offer sheet, Carolina GM Don Waddell is flat out taking revenge on the Canadiens for their offer sheet to Sebastian Aho two years ago.
