Elite speed, good all around skillset, solid hockey IQ, quite good defensively. What's not to like?
Absolute floor is a good 3rd liner, likely a good 2nd liner, ceiling is a 1st liner. Also, while our young NHLers are amazing, our prospects are on the weaker side, so he really stands out. Easily our best forward prospect IMO (I like Grundstrom too, but for me Kapanen is a clear notch above), and arguably our top prospect period (coin flip between him and Liljegren).
