Is kapanen really that bad, i didn't realize he regressed that much

Looks great for Detroit.

He can't find constant chemistry with any linemates, we really needed him to be the RW for Malkin, but together they have been horrible. Maybe he'll stick on ERod RW with Carter now on Malkin's right, but rn they just need someone who can be more consistent and play a simpler game, Kap keeps turning it over and has lost his edge in his own zone. He's still a good player and has 50-60 point potential in there, I just don't know if he fits our top 6, he needs a stretch pass team that counters and he's the stretch guy on the line. With Malkin he has to be one of the transition players and fight for the puck downlow.
