I think its the only way

Overpayment on Kappy, both in value and contract. He's a third line speedster winger but he's just not good enough for a consistent top-6 role.

I could see the penguins doing this in the offseason.
I think Kap would fit well with NYI to be honest.

Definition of an all tools no toolbox player

His underlying numbers look actually pretty good. And while last year he was shooting above his career average this year it's below his average.
I also changed his contract a little.

Would you be opposed to this move? I think he would add a lot to that line. You aren't going to get a younger legit top 6 guy for that price. I think that he would be a good fit. This acgm is all about fit. Its something the isles have really struggled with under trotz, putting players together that make sense, who's styles fit with each other. That's how you maximize the talent you already have.
