What'd you guys think?

So Kapseri Scrapanen is worth a couple of depth guys and a late second? Nope

I like it! I think it would be good if we could move hornqvist without retention but it looks good

As I illustrated on an armchair a few days ago, career PPG between Simon and Kap are pretty similar. Kap is obviously better but Simon would be cheaper, and you get a 2nd round pick too. Plus Rodrigues whose a good 4C. It’s not a bad offer

Another Fav of mine... Max Jones will be a beast very soon

Bro, U guys are killing me with De-valuing Bjugstad

Leafs are in need of cap space & Simon & Erod are 2 good possession players that Dubas will like. If Kapanen was scoring at a 50-60 point pace maybe teams would be willing to offer a top defenseman but that’s not the case.

Thanks.

How are their point per games similar. Kapanen is so underrated on this sign. Simon isn't nearly the player Kapanen is. Kapanen has so many more advantage's
If you want Utility he plays on pp and pk
if you want speed he is by far the fastest on the leafs
If you want hits and fights he has got it
If you want points he will produce. He can't really produce on the leafs because we got so much depth forwards
If you need a good contract he is decent.
He has everything.

We know Bjugstad is a highly skilled possession player but the team will need cap space if it goes down, so they might have no choice to trade him.

Feel free to look at what I just posted

Other than speed, Simon can do everything Kapanen does plus is a better playmaker. He also drives possession better, an aspect that is highly valued in Keefe’s system. Obviously Kap is the better player that’s why I added more pieces.

Exactly. Kap is better no doubt, but you closed the gap pretty fair. Kap Probably isn’t worth a first round pick, so a second + Simon + Rodrigues is more than fair

Yes that’s right. Honestly I wouldn’t mind giving up a late 1st for Kap considering how well he’d fit our system but I think this one is also fair.

Just because the value is fair doesn't mean the trade is fair. That's like Montreal offering Caufield, Romanov, and a first for Crosby.
But you wouldn't do it just because he isn't on the block

That offer definitely isn’t enough for Crosby. And Kap is on the block because they need to shed cap. A combo of johnsson, kerfoot, and Kap will be moved

Kapanen is on the block only if we get a RH top 4 defenseman.
Johnsson is the most likely to be moved.
Crosby is old don't know how you reject that

Kap alone won’t net you a top 4D. He’ll have to be packaged with other assets.

And Pittsburgh gets no NHL ready guaranteed piece for Crosby. It’s a laughable offer. And comparing a Crosby trade to a Kapanen trade is such a bad comparison. Kap to Pittsburgh is at least somewhat realistic. Crosby to Montreal would never happen

It's not really a good comparable. Pens are in win-now mode with loads of cap space, they don't need to trade a guy like Crosby. The Leafs are desperate for cap space. Why not trade Kapanen for some solid young depth pieces and use that extra cap space to sign DeMelo and strengthen the defense?

I would say a 2nd (with conditions to become a 1st if kapanen scored 15 goals), Simon, and Bleuger (kerfoots replacement) would be fine. But I agree if kapenan is on the block leafs would want a top 4 RHD being included, even if both sides would have to package assets

Its an example. You don't just go to teams and expect them to give you guys a players just because the value is equal. Kapanen is not on the block. Johnsson and Kerfoot are.



I got a better offer a top 10 protected first and Bleuger

Not retaining on Hornqvist for Grimaldi, especially with Pittsburgh adding two extras, although UFA rights are basically worthless with the week of talks that are allowable now.

Flip the 3rd to coming from Nashville and still not retaining.

I would have said kahun but they moved him

Ikr.

You’re asking for too much. The condition should be if Kapanen hits 20 goal. Playing with Crosby it should be more than reasonable. Blueger is off limits, Erod is not much worse than him. It’s more than a fair offer. I wish they kept Kahun so that they could trade him for Kapanen but they definitely weren’t getting a 1st as well. The gap between the 2 players is not significant.
