Zamboni Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 KA should be fired for not getting Kapanen! Rawwwwwrrr. amidoingitright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Okay, I take that back, if Johnson is part of the trade and they got Kapenen for peanuts, yes we should have been involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) I thought the most interesting comment Adams made in his recent presser was when they were asking him about contracts in the context of roster construction. He basically said "It will be become clear in the next month or so." That tells me there is a plan in place that will be executed as the timing comes right. The Kapanen trade marks the beginning of the falling dominoes. September will be an interesting month and I don't think we will be bystanders.

dudacek Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Pittsburgh has no cap space to give, so there are obviously follow-up cap dumps coming from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 That’s a very good deal for the Leafs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabrielor Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 NO idea what Rutherford is thinking. This is either an idiotic trade, or you can close shop on any ideas of trading 8, if Kaspari ***** Kapanen is the return value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 From what I know of the prospects involved, it's basically Kapanen for pick 15. Kapanen has hit 20 goals and 40 points once in his career. So you know it's the fact he can probably do that for two more years at just $3.2 million that the Penguins are paying for.

Was wondering the same. Can't see them qualifying him. Might just be Pittsburgh needing to move a contract to balance things out, but the Leafs may also try to sign him cheap now to fill out the bottom of their roster.

At the moment, Twitter seems to be exploding with Leafs fans who think they pulled on over on Pitt...I'm not so sure though. Kap is only 24 and is basically a 20 goal scorer...with 1rd round talent. Put him on a good line in Pitt and I think you can expect 20-25 goals in a full season. That 15th pick? Nothing to sneeze at, but the history of mid 1st round picks shows they likely won't play in the NHL for at least 2 seasons...and not contribute in a meaning full way for 4 years (if they do at all). Both Toronto and Pitt are in a 'win now' situation, I don't see how this doesn't help Pitt more than it does Toronto. (if it doesn't set up another trade for the Leafs maybe?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapanen is probably a solid 3rd line guy who can play some 2nd line time but to get Hallander and a 1st for him, Leafs win this. Hallander could be a poor mans Kapanen and you get a 15th overall pick. Crazy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
