Nice! NO MORE SMITH!? PARTY TIME.

 

[AuraSphere]

Yes!! Kappy!!

 

[Stephen]

Oh yeah, constant high end reinforcements. Sweet rebuild.

 

[saltming]

Wow! That's good for him!
Does he play 4th line though?

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Would love to see Kapp with Nylander at some point (maybe on the PP).

 

[SprDaVE]

Kapanen will be a massive upgrade on the fourth line. Looks like Leivo and Soshnikov are out for at least a couple games.

 

[Nooodles]

Wow! That's good for him!

He's a really good skater and two-way player. I could even see him playing PK.

Our team is already one of the fastest in the league...adding Kapanen to this squad isn't even fair...

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Kapanen-Matthews-Nylander would be awesome to see

The speed of this line would be something else.

Ya he can pk for sure if needed. Hoping he gets more that 8-10 minutes toi is all.

 

[TorontoTrades]

Replace Hyman please

yes. this makes perfect sense to at least try it tomorrow. Hyman-Boyle-Martin is a pretty potent 4th line as well

 

[DarkKnight]

Sweet!!!

 

[ACC1224]

Replace Hyman please

I doubt very much this will happen.

He will certainly boost the 4th line though, look forward to seeing him play.

 

[Warden of the North]

Replace Hyman please

Over Ben Smith?

 

[Schenn]

Awesome! Can't wait to see him on the Pp!

 

[WilliamNylander]

About time...I said before the last game it would be the perfect time to call up KK.

High end speed, great on the penalty kill. Babs will love his game. Way better than Ben Smith

 

[Daisy Jane]

Kappy! Yay!

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

yes plz

 

[WilliamNylander]

He can play any role.

He does everything for the Marlies including PP and PK. I am guessing he starts on line 4 but quickly makes his way up the lineup, he's probably our third best winger already.

 

[Pi]

Kappy! Yay!

That's my reaction as well. Shocked they called him, not because he doesn't deserve it but because I thought they wouldn't mess with the lineup.

I'll contain my excitement till he plays but he's a considerable upgrade over Smith. It should allow us to put him on a scoring line and drop Komarov to the fourth line IMO. Hyman won't be moved from Matthews line but A Martin-Boyle-Komarov fourth line is great.

 

[Xscout*]

Perfect time for this too.
All the injuries - locker room probably a little rattled.
Get em some reinforcement - positivity.

lets not over hype. Nylander/Maner/JVR/Brown/maybe Kap is 5th.

Lets see how he does.

 

[Liminality]

Really excited to see how Kapanen has developed. Also really curious to see where they start him in the lineup.
