Same father and brother?

Same father and brother?

Triple threat.

 

[Henkka]

Same father and brother?

I laughed.

Those numbers are not exactly super impressive. Kasperi had a PPG in the U18 league as a 16 year old while Oliver, who is only a few months older, is 5 inches taller and has 2.5x the points in 2 less games.

 

[CraigBillington]

Is his son also Kasperi Kapanen?

 

[Jorma Heart]

Because of injuries and suspensions he started today in KalPa's first line with Matti Järvinen and Aleksi Klemetti. He got his first point (secondary assist) on early second period. He won't probably see much playing time in Liiga this season, but if he can put something like ppg+ in U20 he could be possible late round pick.

Unsurprisingly very good skater with slick hands. Maybe more of a playmaker than Kasperi and also smaller, although there's a decent change that he will grow some more. EP lists him 170 cm and 64 kg and he might be little taller already.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Yet to score in 15 Liiga games with Tappara and KalPa and has played in Mestis this year.

Still eligible to be drafted but with his size and (lack of) scoring to this point it doesn't seem likely.
