yep. Solid two way player with speed to burn, and can score.

Missing the playoffs 2 out of the last 4 years, not to mention barely making it this year, getting severely spanked by the Ducks twice... Legitimate playoff team eh?
- NorthNuck


Why go back 4 years when were in full rebuild mode? Why not just go back to like 2010 if you were going to do that

From November on we were in the top 10 in almost every important team metric. Hell, even including our terrible start we still cracked the top 10 in many categories. So yeah, I'd call us a legitimate playoff team.

I will admit that we are still a few pieces away from being a legitimate playoff threat, but isn't that the point of going on sites like this during the offseason?

You guys okay or... Kapanen was a point per game in the AHL this year...

The guy you picked 16 spots ahead of him had all of 19 points in Utica.

You don't have to point out the fact that the canucks are bad at drafting.

They have been bad at it since time began. We know. We follow this team.

I'm not sure Virtanen is the guy you want to use as a benchmark. He sort of stinks. But from that draft, it's better than most players. Including Goldobin, who I'm sure many here will rave about.

I'm not saying that, I just find it weird that they seem to be poopting on Kapanen, who projects to almost certainly be a top 6 forward in the very near future.

Well, then maybe some of your compadres shouldn't sneer at some players that belong to a team that has basically nailed it the last few seasons, when it comes to evaluating junior/young talent. You know, like the Leafs.

Well, he wouldn't be on the Utica Comets, he'd be on the first line, for the Canucks.

Agreed to disagree. Kylington is terrible and Fox is a smurf. You are dilusional if you think one of your C prospects gets a cheap, young top 4 dman troll elsewhere please
- CanuckDon


Kylington=poop
Fox=Smurf? Okay
Tanev=Drouin+

Gotcha

Hopefully nobody.

But if I had to guess, Elias Petterson, Kristian Vesalainen or Lias Andersson.

People poop on Kapanen because he doesn't play on the canucks. Or, it was suggested by you or prock so therefor it's a poop comment.

Your choice.

we are on the downside of a rebuild. For the next three to five seasons it's going to be a gong show in here. So don't get upset if a canuck fan doesn't approve of Kapanen. It has nothing to do with his skill set.

But stick around. It will be fun in here if you bring your good stuff.

Oh nice. I read earlier that Francis is pretty high on Rasmussen.

I think most will cite Larsson-Hall as a reason Kapanen isnt very exciting (crazy deal, but thats where expectations are these days). Also Utica was just a wreck from the injury call ups this year. Just because Vancouver lacks depth, doesnt mean they should be content with acquiring a B+ prospect and a middle 1st/2nd pick for their best D asset. I would rather just get a single A prospect or a higher pick

Similar production, similar size, similar player, but Kapanen is better two way. Not sure what you're getting at.

What, Horvat?

Jeez, I'm sure if we gave Kapanen first line duties, with prime PP time, 50 points next year wouldn't be hard for him at all.

I can't really see anyone else you'd be referring to. Are the sisters retired yet?
