Oh, and here's another two cents: all this hometown boy ever wanted to do is play for his hometown team. How anyone can vote against that as a good thing is heartless.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fixitf11</b></div><div>Because Puljujarvi’s trade value is a 3rd round pick rn (around the league, not my opinion…I value him higher) and Kapanen is a speed player that will help EDM keep the pace against teams like COL. I would say that was their major weakness in that series. EDM had the top end players that could keep up, but their depth was not fast enough to keep the pace COL was setting, and Kapanen can help improve that.</div></div>
Edmonton's 3rd line was their best line against Colorado: Foegele - McLeod - Puljujarvi. In that series Jesse actually led the team in CF% (60.29), SF% (51.28), xGF% (64.55), HDCF% (76.92) and was 2nd in SCF% (62.07) among forwards who played at least 5 minutes.

Kapanen won't be an improvement on that.
