Never change leaf fans. Panarin is a PPG LW and we don't need him because we have some prospect who hasn't done anything and a 55 point winger on a good deal for a little longer. Hawks can get more for Panarin. I'll pass
Yes...this has nothing to do with the fact that we need DEFENSE if we are moving JVR, or maybe we don't want to give out a 7 million dollar contract to another winger....stupid Leaf fans.
Then say that... don't say it's because Kapanen has 20 goal potential... I mean come on.
A top-10 player in the NHL for JVR and a prospect who's value is diminishing (and offered in every Leafs proposal).
Not a chance the Hawks do this
lol.... no.
Another classic example of JVR being hilariously undervalued.
#2 ovr pick, 6'3" 210 lbs on pace for 60 pts posting solid corsi stats.
Kapanen is being groomed for a PK role, is currently the fastest skater in the leafs org and has 20+ goal potential.
Panarin is ANOTHER small sized winger. Would be 1 of 778 in leafs org. Not even putting up that many more pts than JVR.
Common sense is really all that's asked for with these things
