Prospect Info: Oliver Kapanen, RHC, KalPa U20 (U20 SM-sarja), 64th Overall

I wasn't sure I was in the right thread. Kapanen seems like found money since I dismissed him as another failed Euro prospect, hope he is the real thing, he can push Beck.

The team was bad with those players too.

Agreed . But we also got to the finals with those guys so we must have been good at some point . I also remember having a G.M. who saddled us with David Desharnais as a number one center for several years because skilled top six centers were really hard to acquire according to him , that didn't help much either . But the main reasons we've been bad the past few years are the rebuild/tanking and youth/inexperience , not because of Dvorak or bottom six players like him .

This dude is in shape. You see those neck muscles he has ? Dude could go head first into the boards at Mach f*** and the boards would break.

LOL what should we be rebuilding on in our rebuild then.
There is a difference between blaming and understanding the quality of these players can and must be upgraded.

I believe the teams poor performance the last few years can be linked directly to the rebuild/tanking and an influx of young , inexperienced players as opposed to folks like you who want to blame individual players who , obviously can , have been and will continue to be upgraded over time , not overnight .
