Why does everyone have to be a complete troll on this site?? As an Oilers fan, I am not offended. Edmonton makes a lot of sense for Kapanen from both sides. Toronto has to shed salary cap going forward and $3.2m is a lot for a 3RW. Kapanen would probably be a 1RW or 2RW on Edmonton though, sadly. Kapanen's speed and half-decent hands makes me think he could be McDavid's winger instead of Draisaitl.
JP might make sense for Toronto. He can certainly play with high-skill players, and has a great toolbox (shot, size, quick stick) and his stock is very low right now. He would naturally fit in on 3RW for a lot less than Kapanen. Probably sign him for around $1m or less.
But yeah, Bouchard is looking like the second coming of Paul Coffey for Oilers fans and coaching staff, so I doubt they would trade him at this point. He could be Edmonton's coveted top-pairing RHD that every team craves, but only few get.
Still, I like the idea of the trade, but I don't think Bouchard would be coming to Toronto.
