Proposal: CHI-PIT

[Pens2thecup871]

To PIT: Dominik Kubalik
To CHI: Kasperi Kapanen

Both are young forwards with upside with slumping seasons who could benefit with a change of scenery. Hextall and Burke mentioned that they would most likely only be able to do a player for player trade since they are up against the cap and do not want to give up futures.

Chicago fans, what do you think?

Me personally I would extend Kubalik without a hesitation. But my guess is they’ll look to move him out due to his qualifying offer. So this is a yes for me as a hawks fan. I like kap also.

There's a reason they are willing to trade Kapanen. He has been a major disappointment this season. I'd want a pick or a prospect for Kubalik if I were running the Hawks.

Kubalik hasn't been great this year either. Id trade him

I don't know why you're saying this about Kapanen as if it doesn't exactly fit Kubalik too.

It's a fair trade straight up and I'd go for it. One young reclamation project for another young reclamation project.

 

[Kevin Musto]

I'd rather have Kubalik, unless Pittsburgh is willing to add.

That’s usually how trades go about. Let’s face it both have been disappointing this year.
Personally I’d rather keep kubs

Been wondering how long it would take for this to pop up.

 

[orby]

Two talented players both trending in the wrong direction. It could work as a "change of scenery" type of deal. I don't hate it.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Wouldn't hate it. Also wouldn't add.

Now you know. How does it feel?

I don't think I compared the seasons of Kublik and Kapanen at all. What I'm saying is if I am in charge of the Hawks, I don't want Kapanen. I'll take the draft pick or a prospect if I am going trade Kubalik. I've seen enough over the years from Kapanen to doubt that he ever puts it all together.

I probably would too. Just not for Kapanen.

 

[SEALBound]

I think their coming QOs are enough of an "add" given the respective situations.

Lol kapanen is out producing kubalik this year. Should probably look at both players stays before popping off on adds from either team.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I'd do it thinking we're giving up the upside but I f***ing love Kapanen.

I do think Kubalik rebounds. I just don't think it'll be in Chicago.

 

[TheDachKnight]

I would do this as a Hawks fan. Does Kapanen PK?

 

[Gurglesons]

I’d prefer Kapanen over Kubalik tbh.

He did in Toronto and was phenomenal at it, he doesn't in Pittsburgh for seemingly no reason though.

That’s what I was thinking. I loved him as a PKer because of his speed and underrated two-way game. Kubalik has more upside IMO but Kapanen could end up the more useful player if that makes sense. Solid deal for both sides.

 

[Jerkbait]

Pitt says NO. Not casue its unfair value wise but the pens will be lookikg for something else. Ducks have been scouting pitt

 

[Mrfenn92]

I want both

What are you talking about? I'm not comparing them at all. Seems like a couple Pens fan here can't accept that someone wouldn't want the player they want to trade. For where the Hawks are in their rebuild, if I were running the Hawks I'd prefer the prospect or the draft pick rather than the 25-year player that seems to be regressing. And being a Leafs fan and owner of Kapanen on a dynasty team for over 5 years, I am very familiar with Kapanen's game.

Sure. Pens add Kapanen.

The irony in you saying that about Kapanen but not realizing both have had their luck dry out this season.
