Quoting: Price_is_the_goat
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
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.
