(1) Kapanen turns 24 in the summer, Johnsson turns 26 in the beginning of the season.
(2) Kapanen's statistics are better, no matter which ones you consult.
(3) Kapanen is a RW, which is somewhat less common than lefties.
Ergo, Kapanen is worth a second and a prospect, on a sliding scale depending upon how high the pick is and how good the prospect is.
Even if you're a Leafs fan, you're allowed to be realistic.
He's clearly not as good as Rickard Rakell, though.
