Can both teams just trade a 2nd + 5th for TVR instead?
If Faulk would be third pair on the Leafs, then TVR would be the stickboy

Kap was projected at 41 ES points (7 points in 14 games while Matthews injured). Justin Williams had 39 last year. So he is a Williams-calibre winger. Not worth anything close to Pesce. We cracked the case.
0.5 even strength points per game is very very good. 1st line caliber.
Age 21:
Tarasenko: 38gms, 13:25 (1:47pp), 8gls (3pp), 19pts (5pp) --- 82gms, 17gls (6pp), 41pts (11pp)
Kapanen: 38gms, 11:15 (0:01pp), 7gls (0pp), 9pts (0pp) ------ 82gms, 15gls (0pp), 19pts (0pp)
Age 22:
Tarasenko: 64gms, 15:10 (1:40pp), 21gls (5pp), 43pts (7pp) --- 82gms, 27gls (6pp), 55pts (9pp)
Kapanen: 33gms, 16:20 (0:36pp), 12gls (0pp), 22pts (0pp) ----- 82gms, 30gls (0pp), 55pts (0pp)
I see Kapanen in a Carolina jersey. Don't know why, but always thought Kapanen in Carolina would work.
Berglund and Schwartz, Kapanen's are Kadri and MarleauI'm curious, who were Tarasenko's most common linemates during his age 22 season?
Umm...you don't need to be a franchise player to be worth more than Pesce.I'm not the one hyping Kapanen here like he was one.
The guy at 22y has 1 22 point season in the NHL and he's a game changer now.

You do realize that most of his points came playing with Aho and on the PP right? You do realize I said highest goal scorer right? Outside of the offensive black hole defensive Center that is staal, KK would be your best pk’ing Forward.You do realize that when TT hit 60+ points last year, Aho wasn't his center, right? They both played wing so your argument really isn't an argument. KK fastest player on the Canes. Yes. Highest scorer? Please. He's not going to outscore Aho. KK best PKer? Laughable and shows you don't know you kills penalties for the Canes.
Ifs and buts. Fact is there isn’t a gym in the league who would value Slavin ahead of Rielly.Let’s see Slavin in Babcock’s system.
Hell, let’s see Slavin for team USA.
Yeah, it shows.No, he’s not garbage. He’s just not what we need. Go ahead and throw a several more million (that you don’t have) at the guy. We’ll happily keep our guys and continue to draft and develop. We’ll get BACK to the promised land without tanking for a generational talent.

So Carolina is interested in Kapanen as per the title.
Does anyone know how interested and what they offered if they even did?
Just trying to avoid 35 pages of my Pesce is bigger than yours and see if there is anything concrete.
The point was centers carrying wingers so you're still off base. Yes, Aho will score more goals than Kapanen, why the confusion? Funny too how now you've moved the goal posts on the Canes PK. Just not far enough. McGinn, Foegle and Martinook (heard of any of them?) are all better PKers than KK.You do realize that most of his points came playing with Aho and on the PP right?

PK is totally a need for Carolina, too. All the way down at 12th.The point was centers carrying wingers so you're still off base. Yes, Aho will score more goals than Kapanen, why the confusion?

Hope that helps.
Before this thread is invariably locked, Kapanen will be elevated to a Selke candidate.PK is totally a need for Carolina, too. All the way down at 12th.
If only we had an elite penalty killer like Kapanen, we could be at 18th like Toronto.

It really does. We’re much better off today than we’ve been at any point this decade. Our farm team is #1 in the AHL and is stacked with young talent. We’ve got two franchise players in Aho and Svech, and a defense that most teams would kill for (hence the gajillion offers we see here everyday). Efforts to address the goalie situation have failed miserably (thanks Darling!), but I am certain they will try again next offseason to fix it. Finally, we have a new owner that is passionate about winning and stated he is willing to spend (just not for the sake of spending).
Although the games can sometimes be difficult to watch, we’re pretty psyched about the future.
He's got potential sure but he hasn't shown that in his rookie year, on pace for 44 points. Other similarly touted wingers in their 18 year old seasons: Hall - 42 in 65, on pace for 53 points, Laine - 64 points, etc... even guys like Tkachuk who weren't known as offensive stars put up 48 points in their rookie season.
