This all reeks of justification. You have convinced yourself that Kapanen is going to he a 30 goal 60 point player or better just to make yourself feel better. Hallander is likely going to be much better defensively than Kapanen (who is terrible defensively), and Amirov is going to he a terrific pick. May never be a superstar but he's got as much natural talent as anyone in drafted beyond the top 5. Dubas has a proven track record of making smart picks. Sandin, Robertson, Liljegren and now Amirov will all be really good pieces for the Leafs. Kapanen will be what he is for the Pens. A 3rd liner who sometimes scores some points and does nothing to move the needle. He isn't half of what you think you are getting.

Exactly man. Well said. It’s just so funny how so many leafs fans (probably including these guys) said he’s a good player worth a first. Now that he’s in Pittsburgh he sucks??? Clearly they’re still angry about the Kessel trade or something
He is angry at the world for some reason!! I hope he figures it out instead of reporting people after he insults them multiple times, they ignore him and then respond joking around, with a joke!! Then he reports them, after all his insults!! Lol.
I agree though, I’ll take my chances the next 2 years with 24 year old, 3.2M per year, Kappy!! And his is still restricted after the 2 yards!!
Ya, that’s funny, when he’s on their team and they make ACGM’s, he worth a 1st round pick!! When they get tge 1st round pick, they robbed us and it’s an overlay!! Lol.
I hope Amirov and Hallander work out. Neither are in the Pens timeline though. Maybe Hallander in 2 years at 22 years old. But he’s a 3C at best. A 3C ceiling. Never even had a 30 point season in weak leagues hes playing in. I hope he works out!! I really do, I just don’t see it. And I said that when he was a Pen.
IF that goalie, or Seth Jarvis or Holloway, or J.Sanderson, or Rossi or J.Quinn fell to 15. I would have been mad. But Amirov at 15, I was like ok cool!! Like I said, I would have wanted the Pens to take C.Zary, or K.Guhle, or H.Lapierre. I was mad The Caps got Lapierre..lol. I think Amirov is gonna take awhile to be ready. Doesn’t seem too far along as a prospect. Seems like atleast 4 years away IMO. But good luck with him too!! I’m not sold though.
Again, give me Kappy, playing with Sid and Guentzel for the next 2 years. I’m happy with that. Best set of wings Sid has had since Kunitz and Dupree.
