So you trade an 8th overall pick for Kapanen and end up playing him on the third line? ?

Yeah, that's a ridiculous overpay for Kapanen. Clearly he hasn't looked at the fact Kapanen scores at a 4th line rate when he isn't with Matthews. Even with Kadri KK scored just 1.12 p/60 in 2018-19 - good for 340th place in the league among forwards. Hmmm... 31 teams x 12 forwards = 372... 340 is not good.

I certainly wouldn't give up 008 for him.

I wouldn't give up my cousin who has dementia for him

McDavid quits if you put Maroon on his line

Why? They had a lot of success together previously.

Imagine going to your GM and saying I could really use a great left wing to really complete our first line and he brings you a third line caliber player and says. Well you guys worked a couple years ago lets try this for three years.

They're good friends though, McDavid wouldn't react that way.

Balanced scoring.

That makes no sense bud.
