Thread: Notes after last night
I’ve been on the Canes getting Kapanen since last offseason, primarily for the apt description of his play below. If you look at the Canes underlying metrics, you’d see that they are merely average at ZE. They are possession monsters once they do, and Kapanen’s speed and forecheck, along with above average finish, would become a staple on the right wing of an elite checking line with Foegele and Staal. He’d also get PP2 and PK time as well.

The value might not work out, but I’d love to see Sami’s boy come home.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>newballcoach</b></div><div>Definitely. Kap also has an "elite" talent (his speed) while Johnsson is a good all-around player, but doesn't have one thing that sets him apart (Marner's passing, Matthews' shot, etc.). While it hasn't translated to offence as much as I had hoped (I'd love to see him driving to the net more) it does help Kappy as an excellent zone entry player.

You'd love to not move either one, and in the offseason everyone thought one of those guys was going to move and they've kept both. I could see Kap moving because he has no place in the top-6 or on the PP1. I'd like to see if Toronto could do better then TVR, Forsberg and their first back though.</div></div>
