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

[Habs]

Kapanen will be 10x the player Heineman will ever be because of his smarts alone. He will be used in any situation you want. Everyone keeps believing we are fleecing other teams with these moves, like the other GM's are stupid. Guys like Barron and Heineman are just spare parts, teams are fully aware of what they are moving.

We accidentally fleeced Vegas by taking Suzuki instead of Glass (Who Bergy really wanted) , is that the last time this happened here?

If you trace back this pick that landed Oliver Kapanen we can thank the Joel Armia Steve Mason and Kieran Ruscheinski and Oliver Kapanen (via Marco Scandella).

And then they will have someone to centre the 2nd line if Dach goes down. They need to make every effort to contend for a playoff spot this season.

He might have a similar role as Anton Lundell in Florida. He is a 3C, PP2, PK2 but if there is some injury he can easily jump to top6 role and produce.
