well hes 100 % an nhler...and will be a solid nhl player for many years just cause he has elite wheels...and if his skills improve he can be good to great, dont think he'll be an elite winger, but a very good 40-50 point guy that gives you elite speed on D and the PK
This thread is ridiculous. Kapanen is a keeper. Versatile winger with great wrister and defensibly responsible. I think he could be a top line forward if given the chance. You leaf fans are underrating this kid.
Assuming we lose JVR and Bozak, I would imagine young players like Kapanen will be given more opportunities to move up in the lineup. I could see him being a pretty effective tool on the powerplay.
I find it strange that Kapanen has yet to be given a shot on the PP. As someone mentioned, AJ, Brown, Leivo have all been given a shot. I'm curious of what Kapanen could do.
I like him. but I have no idea whether he is a top six guy or not. He has not shown any signs of being a play-maker at the NHL level. This can be either due to not having the vision to make plays at NHL speed, or just being stuck with scrub line mates. Assuming they don't resign JVR, I think next season will show what he has to offer. Nice upside but no guarantees.
When I initially posted this thread , it wAs always meant to hopefully spur on good conversation based on his trajectory as an NHLer .
Funny though , and interesting , if you look at the date it wAs posted , from that game on he’s turned up the heat , the volume and the scoring !
Way to go Kappy
Sorry
ruKus calls it like I sees it!
GOo F€£¥in LEAFS GOoooo!
Important reminder: If you're wondering why his point totals are so low if he's supposedly a good future top-6 player (Sharp clone), just look at his on-ice sh% (it's been very unlucky, you can probably tell by all the missed tap-ins Komo has had). He should have a lot more points, just watch for his rise back to the normal.
