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

[26Mats]

The best ppg season i could find for a u22 player in the SHL since 2000 was

Elias Petterson with 1.273 ppg
Marc Zuccarello 1.143 ppg
Jacob Silverberg 1.102 ppg
Linus Omark 1.038 ppg
Henrik Zetterberg 0.979 ppg
Jonathan Berggren 0.918 ppg
Olivier Kapanen 0.916 ppg

It doesn't guarantee anything as we see with Omark and the samle size is too small the season is not over yet he's just one bad sequence away from not being close to a ppg but he's a legit prospect.

I like his game in preseason.

We'll see what hugo has in store in the offseason. But I see the bottom six being too crowded out of camp for Roy and Kapanen. But they should be go to guys in Lavak, perhaps playing together on the same line.

Heineman - Evan's - Newhook
Gallagher - Beck - Anderson

I'd rather Roy and Kapanen not be the 13th forward.

I have several of his full games,

Montreal on the street corner opens up the trench coat and has exactly what you want.
