<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phillyjabroni</b></div><div>I don't watch TOR games, thats why I use this source.

Your source only states his average PK TOI. Thats not his aggregate PK TOI. My source, a well known advanced hockey tracker, shows that he has yet to record a full minute of PK TOI. So what your source is saying he averages 46 seconds of PK TOI thru 8 games, while not having more than one minute. His aggregate PK TOI is literally 46 seconds.</div></div>

no......It is average per game

<a href="https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/statistics" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/statistics</a>

6 mins and 40 seconds of PK time through 8 games

And watching a lot of Leafs games I can tell you that this is correct

Time to use a new stat tracker site..........

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phillyjabroni</b></div><div>I don't think the title of another individual makes them more credible than another individual. Analysis should be based on objective views, not based on title. Pronman's rankings are basically a list of who he wants to shine bright. Any rational actor can analyze his list and notice a disparage between Robert Thomas at 6 and Morgan Frost at 7. Even STL fans agree <a href="/users/AK_tune" target="_blank">@AK_tune</a>

He doesn't watch these guys for an extended look; he isn't a region specific scout. Last year he had Nolan Patrick ranked ahead of Kirill Kaprizov on the list of top prospects. Now he has Adam Fox at 16, among other atrocities.

Pronman is a subjective writer when it comes to these rankings. Taking them as Gospel is equally idiotic as his rankings.</div></div>

If you look at his past rankings, he is usually right a lot of the time. No man can be 100% right on prospects. However he hits a lot of them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phillyjabroni</b></div><div>He is not credible. If you are familiar with his work, a ton of his rankings are subjectively based. For example, he has Robert Thomas at No. 6 and Morgan Frost at 31. There is not a difference of 25 spots between those two. Any rational actor can see that that difference in ranking makes no logical sense.

He was 15, my apologies. I must have been referencing another list. Maybe Craig Buttons from a little over a year ago.

Either way, Kapanen is not the 15th best prospect in the NHL. No chance. His ceiling is nothing more than 2W.</div></div>
He is a lot more credible than me and you I will tell you that

He is one of the few writers who actually watch every prospect. I bet he doesn't even have time to watch NHL games. Unless its for a prospect

Nope. as you can see in the bottom two paragraphs you have all been spewing bull crap. My favorite is whoever said his skating and defensive game is a problem lol. Your guys credibility to me is very low, anybody can spew random **** and call people delusional

Per Cory Pronman of the Athletic and ESPN

15. Kasperi Kapanen, RW, Toronto

Age: 21 | Height: 6-foot | Weight: 181 pounds

Drafted: First round, 22nd overall in 2014 by Pittsburgh

2017-18 team: Toronto Marlies

There is a lot to like about Kapanen. When you see him play, his high-level ability stands out immediately. He’s a fantastic skater who can play a skill game and push the pace at even strength. He can dominate a shift and be a difference maker in a game with his playmaking. He’s right on the cusp of being a regular due to a logjam on the wing in Toronto. He has made significant improvements to his defensive game. Just getting him to be a tad more consistent and stronger in battles off the puck will likely push him over the edge into being a good NHL player.

Per Wheeler of the Athletic

2. Kasperi Kapanen, RW, 21 (Toronto Marlies)
By his recent standards, Kapanen is off to a slow start this season with three goals in six games with the Marlies. Still, dating back to his 20th birthday, Kapanen has 54 points and 150 shots in 58 AHL games, good for a 76-point pace and 2.6 shots per game as one of the youngest players in the league in that span. Last season, the only players in the AHL of similar age to Kapanen who produced at or near his offensive clip (Brendan Perlini and Kevin Labanc, who are both older than Kapanen) are now full-time NHL players. Kapanen shouldn't be far behind. He remains one of the best skaters (if not the best) in the Leafs organization. He has the skill and pace to be an excellent NHL winger, even if we've only seen it in flashes so far in his young career. In his last 17 games under Leafs head coach Mike Babcock, Kapanen has played more than 13:40 minutes only once. The game was April 15, 2017. He was on the ice for 16:30 minutes, scored two goals, picked up four shots, finished with a plus-2 rating and scored the playoff overtime winner.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Price_is_the_goat</b></div><div>if he was such a great and valuable prospect as u claim he is, why wasn't he taken higher in the draft. and my friends whom commented below, kind of proved who really has his head in his ass. im not saying he is complete crap, but there are players in the ahl right now, whom were drafted 2-3 spots after him, and are much higher then a point per game in the american league, and look to be very good nhlers. kapenen is an above average ahler, but in the nhl, he hasn't shown anything. the biggest knock about him in his draft year was skating and defensive game. that still seems to be the issue</div></div>

Okay. Now I know you are talking out of your ass....

Kapanen is the best skater on the Leafs. No question whatsoever, he beats out Matthews, Marleau, Nylander, Marner no question in that regard. It has never been an issue so I have no idea what you are talking about.

And the second completely wrong thing you said. His defensive game is good. When he is called up he plays the PK regular and is not a liability whatsoever 5v5. He hasn't had a line mate other than Matt Martin, the Goat or Moore. Yet he is still able to create chances off his speed.

You lost all credibility right there, It shows you have no knowledge whatsoever about the player.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Price_is_the_goat</b></div><div>look at how that trade worked out for the bruins lmao. and kapenen has played like 25 games in the nhl, and has scored only 3 goals. ur really thinking that carolina would be interested in him? if carolina were to ever move hanifin, it would be for a top 6 center. they have some very good wingers coming up with gautheir. thye dont need another depth winger</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>kapanen has 3 points in 3.5 years after he was drafted. he is among the least accomplished of anyone in the first round of a crappy draft.</div></div>

Get your head out of you ass

He is a top prospect. Want proof? Read just about every prospect ranking
