Sujet: Pens trade Sens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>*Played on 1st line in Toronto most all of his PT there.

*Played on the 2nd line all last year with the Pens. 30 points in 40 games(.75PPG).

*Played on the 2nd line all season with the Pens this year. 5PPG and playing poorly. That’s a pretty good “floor” I’d say.

*Just got moved down to the 3rd line on Carter line. E-Rod moved up to the 2L. E-Rod is having his best season of his career and gonna score 20 plus goals this season(has 17 goals so far). He deserves the promotion too.

So no, I’d say he’s been a top 6 on contending/play-off teams his whole career. Except the last 3-5 games.</div></div>

And? Nikita Zaitsev has been playing 1st pairing minutes basically his whole career. He's a useful player but he doesn't make a top 6 better. He <em>CAN</em> play there when you have a top six with Crosby/Malkin/Guentzel or Matthews/Marner/Nylander, but he's a passenger player. That's not what Ottawa needs on their 2nd line. Kapanen is more suited to 3rd line duties.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Kappy’s younger, cheaper(his QO this offseason is 875K but has arbitration rights, probably will get 2.25M-3M per; he won’t get the 3.2M he’s getting now unless he picks it up and gets hot for acouple weeks).

Kappy super talented too. Undeniable on the ice. Fast as hell, great shot, good playmaker, good 200 foot player, good on PK, good on the PP, plays physical and “hits” more than enough(has 81 “hits” this season so far).

Is he in the doghouse and playing inconsistent.? Yes. But every shift he plays you still can’t miss him. Does he try and make too many behind the back passes and take stupid penalties that really bother Sully..? Yes.

But he’s still a .5 PPG player when playing poorly. That’s a good “floor”and a “floor” a lot of NHL wingers would kill for. Let him get hot for acouple weeks and he’s a 20 goal scorer again. And last season had 30 points in 40 games(.75PPG).

People think on capfriendly cause he’s in the doghouse; and was a healthy scratch one night. It makes him a bottom 6 or something.

Even though, the next night he was back on Carter line(3rd line) and still is. Sully just wanted to send a message and try to get him going. It’s not even an unusual thing to happen to young players. Doesn’t make him a bottom 6.

He was on the 2nd line all last season on a play-off team;30 points in 40 games(.75PPG). And just got moved to the 3rd line for E-Rod who’s having a great season and is gonna score 20 plus goals this yr.(17 goals so far). Kappy’s a mid-6 on a good, play-off team, at worst.</div></div>

kaps an okay player but the sens arent going to just basically swap them 1 for 1, if browns gone the sens are getting multiple pieces towards the future, not a straight downgrade in terms of player because they can keep him for longer
