Quoting: Pens2000
they gave up a first for kapanen!! he hasn't done much to help this team right now and thats a fact. kapanen isn't expected to be the best player on this team but he is just not contributing right now and u cant tell me u watch the games and believe he is actually contributing. they've played some weak teams recently and he didn't record a point
exactly why do you think a mid to late round 1st is going to generate more than a 20 goals per season player?
It's not. Matter of fact that is what one should expect to pay for a young, controlled, good contracted, 20 goal scorer. Go ask any team that has one if they are willing to give up that kind of player for anything less. I can tell you now, they aren't.
Let me know when he's gone 40 goals without a goal. Fact is he's fine. But you're hell bent on getting rid of him for basically nothing. But yet somehow think McCann who had 2 and a half years in pit did no better, and simply disappeared in the playoffs.
I mean honestly, in 6 playoff games last year he put up more goals and the same amount of points as McCann did in 12.
But lets chase him out for a guy who was ragged on for being a magician for his great disappearing acts.
