Couturier, MacDonald and Morin

for

Bozak, Kapanen and 2nd 2018

- AdamFrench


I wouldn't do this deal. Bozak is already cheaper than Couturier... and is significantly better offensively. Kapanen is NHL ready, cheap and appears to have tons of upside.

Morin is a ?... definitely no guarantee that he'll be an everyday NHLer.

So you're giving up a consistent 40Point+ center who's the team's best faceoff man, an emerging NHL player with upside and 2nd for a offensively challenged 3rd line center at best (locked in for 5 years at 4.3M) and 5M resident of Robidas Island.

Overpayment.

Kaps alone wont get you a top 4 dman....he would just be a piece.
As of now, Kap looks to be a quality bottom 6 player.

Report on him is he isnt consistent but can score big goals (as we've seen).

He's been pretty consistent for the Marlies 43pts in 43g and 8pts in 9pogs....not bad at all.

Consistently scores big goals, WJC, Marlies and Leafs Playoffs this season.

His whole time with the Leafs so far has been forth line duties with limited minutes.

I would bet if he replaced Hyman on Matthews wing you would see a major uptick in his points, consistency, and even a few more clutch goals with the big club.

He's a top 6 guy if given a shot.

He's too tall to be Habs top 3, and he doesn't dive enough.

I wanted to post the actual number of the Habs height average thinking it would prove were not that small anymore.

well to be fair... Laine does look like Gary Busey... which you can more or less label as disfigured.
- BorjeFan4Ever


I once mistook Gary Busey for Brad Pitt, when Busey was standing next to Patrick Laine.

Me too.

Well the stat is from the beginning of the season... and we still had Desharnais on the team.

Mind you, we're only half an inch smaller than the Leafs.

NOT YET.

Expect Price and Radulov to be signed first before he moves on to take care of Galchenyuk.

I'd dare say he'd score 30 goals with Matthews.
