Why doesn't Kap get PP time? Still having trouble understanding this with the way he's playing..
what spot/position do you see him playing at on the PP?

Kapanen seems to be one of those players who isn’t talented enough to generate goals/points while playing with 4th liners 10 minutes a game... but talented enough that he can keep up with star players on the first line. I just hope he continues to put up good numbers, then we can trade him for a D.
Makes you wonder where some 'facts' come from. I thought that looked odd, because he also said that was the second worst, which would mean that only 15 players had played right wing for the leafs in the last 20 years. A quick look at NHL.com lists 52, and even if you specify more than 50 games, it's still 34.Looking at assists per 60, these are the facts:
Kasperi Kapanen's seasons for the Leafs rank 3rd, 10th, and 14th worst all-time for a Leaf right-winger. (Think this stat started being collected in `97)
Willy makes just no sense at all in the bumper spot.
It's just not tailored to Willy's skillset at all imo.Why not, WN has a great release in the slot, and Naz can play bumper on PP2.
i completely agree.
i would say anything LESS than 20 goals will be a disappointment for me.
I have high expectations for him this year.
Willy just isn't into getting physical jousting it out with Dmen and the like, playing the bumper requires a player who possess's snarlYup. Also Kadri works like a dog in the slot to crash the net, and support everyone on the ice. He really doesn't get enough credit on that unit, just because he isn't racking up the points right now.
yup, magically changed from a strict 4th liner to a good 1st liner overnight.

When Willie hopefully gets re-signed soon, putting Kapanen-Matthews-Nylander together seems like a no brainer.
Seriously why trade Nylander when you could put those three together and perhaps create an awesome young, dynamic scoring line??
Drop the "Kaptain" and we've got a nickname.No real good thread to bump and didn't want to create one...
Seriously... is there a player as 'average' as clutch as Kapanen? He's building quite the resume!
Kaptain Klutch Kasperi Kapanen!
