[Kaptah]

Do you think Penquins should try him out?

lol no

 

[Kaptah]

He is fast as hell, but lazy as shit. Guess not the kind of project Sully likes?

 

[Randy Butternubs]

lol no

Let's not jump to conclusions here, guys.

If we claim Kap and trade Rust, it might just be enough to get Sullivan to quit....ya know....because they can't fire him for some reason.

Is there a way to get a third round pick five years from now outta this?

If we put him with Crosby and on the left wall on the PP, he'd probably score 25 goals and land us something like that.

1 goal in 10 games. He's almost reached the pinnacle of Penguins' Hockey- The Harkins' Level if you will.

[pejorative] Trash

-Sullivan (probably)

Woah, woah, woah. The Harkins way is to score zero goals, while being fantastic on the PK.

I don't particularly remember Kap as a lazy player, just an incredibly dumb one.

 

[SEALBound]

At least he was finally being paid what he was worth - $1mil for 1yr.

Another major Hextall blunder was signing him at $3.2mil for three years when the dude has literally negative leverage.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Kap's trash, utter dogshit. Dude's got permanent prospect brain, will never figure it out.

 

[Jacob]

I mean we put him on waivers too

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I do kinda miss watching the Kap Classic™ like three times a game though. Skate the puck through the neutral zone like a bat outta hell, pushing all the defenders back, just to inexplicably pull up immediately at the blueline and fire a shitty pass across the ice to nobody, giving the other team possession. It was art.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Kap belongs on wavers from the league

As in we all wave as he flies home

... That is a bit harsh, but he's just clearly not understood how to not make teams want to ditch him

 

[Jacob]

My oldest memory of him was at the WJCs when he just couldn’t score at all even though he was a top prospect and being counted on for offense. He finally got one and he mimed like he was grabbing something off his back and throwing it on the ground, and Ferraro was like “you’d score more if you went to the net kid.” Like it was obvious to everyone but him why he couldn’t score.

 

[HandshakeLine]

lol we traded him and then paid more to bring him back
