Kapanen seems to be becoming that type of frustratingly inconsistent prospect/NHLer like Peter Holland or Joe Colborne that you obtain in trade. You know the type: the one with all of the tools to be an NHLer that some express disappointment over while others concoct grand conspiracies over.

With Gauthier in the lineup, kiss goodbye to 4 lines generating offense unless Babcock keeps Martin and Gauthier on separate lines.

kapanen when given a extended run played really well, then then decided Moore was needed blocking him from the spot he earned last season. He was one of our best players in the playoffs, playing on the 4th line a role that many though he couldn't play. Maybe we can judge him after an extended run on a scoring line? if he ever gets that chance

The line will certainly still need to be heavily sheltered.

Gauthier has been brought up incase Matthews cant go tonight. Insurance.

But Matthews will go so it is a moot point.

He's just got to go down there and light up the AHL like crazy and impress on his next outing.
