Thread: ALS LEAFS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_MITCH</b></div><div>Yea I think you're right - I'm pretty hesitant to deal Kappy too. I love his speed I just wish he had a bit more creativity when it comes to playmaking. I don't know what a Miller deal would look like but there's been talk of him as a Leafs target since he was with the B's hey? Gotta think one of Johnsson/Dermott/Bracco/Goalie Prospect would be going out in that deal... or maybe a pick? I dunno.</div></div>

I don't think playmaking is Kappy's best asset. He has excellent zone entry ability. I think he needs to refine his offensive game more into a drive to the net, tips and one-timers type of player. He doesn't have the skill set to be a playmaking distributor and the Leafs don't have as much need for that. If he is willing to drive the net more and get in tight more often, I think he is going to increase his offensive contribution.

I would love to see him on the LW of Matthews/Nylander to help them with zone entries as that is not what Matthews is good at. That would give them somebody to drive the net, a player to distribute the puck and the league's best finisher. As our 2nd line. The only way I'm willing to trade Kap is to get a top pair RD in return, and I'm not sure that's happening.
