You guys have stellar forward Kapanen. Interesting to see how fast he will adjust his game NHL rink. I wouldnt be shocked If he choose AHL over Sweden. Versatile and up right player. He had quite big jump this year on Liiga after slow start.

If Habs sign him to an ELC, he has to be sent to Europe if he doesn't crack the Habs' line-up out of camp in Year 1 of that ELC. In Year 2, they don't have to loan him even if he does have a contract at Timra. Canadiens will be able to keep him in NA, whether with Habs or Laval.

It was the same as Heineman. They signed him to his ELC, but he was also under contract for two years at Leksand. The first year, he had to be loaned. However, as of Year 2 of the ELC, Habs kept him in NA even if he still have a valid contract in SHL.

Going back to Kapanen, what I've appreciated about him is that each year since he was drafted, there's been progression, both in his production but also his role within the organization and the line-up at KalPa.

It was a numbers thing I would think, they didn't see a spot for him, too many young guys at the same time, etc. He might not have been too keen on coming to north america unless he had a concrete spot, too.

Total contract slots and the fact he signed a 2 years contract extension not long before the Habs's rights were expiring is my guess.

Monty said on l'antichambre that he wanted to take a few weeks off and have a full off season training schedule before next season, he couldn't do that last year. He said he was gonna do physical training sessions until July then do on ice sessions.

Can't believe the worthless Ned is in nets for US. They should have played him against the worst team they face.

Kapanen wins the faceoff and then tips another one in. 1-0 Finland.
