Kasperi Kapanen: Penguins Not So Secret Weapon In 2015

[vikingGoalie]

Beau wasn't playing to not get hurt the last 1/3 of the season, he was playing hurt.

Not being a smart ass. What injury are u referring to? Thought he recovered from the knee. So was the knee not right or something else? Regardless he definitely was avoiding certain situations.

I'm not sure if they ever said what it was, but when they eventually did sit him it was because he was hurt.

Wasn't he wearing a knee brace?

I know its hard for some unrealistic pen fans to accept any thing negative about a pen player or prospect. But in the case of KK, at the beginning of this season, he was rated an 8.0 and was among the top 50 prospects on the HF ratings of prospects. Now, at the end of the season, he is rated as a 7.5 prospect and is not in the list of the top 50 prospects. Clearly his stock has fallen at least in the eyes of the HF ratings. Of course, this does not mean he will be a bust, but he definitely is not now considered one of the top 50 prospects by HFs.

Who cares what his ranking is on HF

I believe it wasn't my assessment but by HF. Those are the facts and for what ever reason his stock has fallen in the eyes of the HF.

You should check out some of the old list. See the track record.

[Honour Over Glory]

That site, the writing, and their research team is horrendous. A collective group of fail. Why wouldn't you proof read your work?

HF rating mean jack ****.

The saddest thing is when people here use them as gospel.

What's the next season develop plan with Kasperi Kapanen.
How possible is that Kasperi plays in world juniors in Helsinki.

This upcoming WJC U20 tournament in Helsinki is last chance for Kasperi to winn WJC U20 medal.
Because Kasperi missed 2014 WJC U20 gold medal because of shoulder injury i hope Kasperi is coming to world juniors.

But of course Penguins has their own opinion in this case.
And if Kasperi won't come to world juniors in Helsinki that's OK.

I'd say if he's in the AHL he'll be at the WJCs, and if he's in the NHL he won't be.

Nah. He'll be injured. Cause, ya know, Penguins.
