Why do you have Kapanen on the Taxi Squad? Spend a first plus on him and place him on waivers? He would never clear

Has Kapanen already disappointed that much? I figured he'd at least get a shot with Crosby or Malkin. Figured he'd be in the bottom 6 by midseason or so but this is fast.

Well this is a sign of things to come. He was continually late for practices and team functions to the point he was benched by the Leafs and now this. So happy he was traded.

Not his fault on this one. They wouldn’t give him a visa to come to the states, and he never had one before cause he was in Canada. If he can play fast and bury the puck when Crosby dishes to him he’d be a good line mate for him.

He'll do what he always does, fly down the wing and shoot from the half boards and then lose possession and then fail to backcheck. He never crashes the net either so he won't work with Crosby. He's billed as something he just isn't. He's like AA, super fast, terrible defensively and lazy

I agree he’s kinda like Kessel, younger and more unproven for sure, horrible with possession and defensive. Hell of a wrister if he can get it off. Doesn’t play physical, but if people are drawn to Crosby will give him more room to shoot, when he was at his best with toronto was because he was on a better line with faster players getting more of the defensive coverage. He’s still young and if it doesn’t work out has a skill set where he’d be easy to move still.

He had one good stretch with Matthews where opposing players gave him too much room and he got several breakaways. Teams adjusted and he was a ghost for the rest of the season.

Yeah but if your tight on him and Crosby’s out you’re probably gonna get burned by Crosby, or Guentzel. I’m just saying he fits playing with them very well at his best. At his worst it was a waste of a first round pick...

He doesn't do anything for teammates though in the offensive zone. He just floats around the perimeter and waits for pucks to come to him but never goes and gets it.
