Kind of got lost in the shuffle for a year or two, but is shaping up nicely now.

Well deserved.

This confirms he’s playing in North America next year, right? If he’s in Europe it would have to mean he’s just loaned there?

Finland has a fuckin hockey breading program with this Kapanen family.

He was kind of a sleeper prospect for a while but he just keeps getting better every year. Excited to see what he can do in Laval!

Bergys draft philosophy improved drastically from 2019 onwards.

Yeah! ELC is the best investment plus means Hughes thinks he is worth it knowing what’s coming so I hope/imagine he will have the kind of camp to turn heads.
***edit*** – does anyone know if he got more $ on his ELC under the new cap calculations? 925 vs it was 775 in my memory
832.5K Salary & 92.5K Signing Bonus
“A” Perf Bonuses:
Yr 2 – 637.5K
Yr 3 – 850K
Max “A” attainable during contract is $850K
Cap Hit 925K, AAV $1.21M

Wonder if we can get Kapanen and Koivu together if we draft him…
zzzzoooo
What !?!?
I thought this was done months ago, no ? Do I come back from future ?
We all knew that he’ll come here for training camp. If he won’t make the team, he’ll head back to Europe to play for his dad’s team, no ? He won’t be in Laval.
