Scouting Report
The son of former NHL forward Sami Kapanen is a tremendous skater with a quick release and the ability to find holes in the defense. He looks like a winger that has all the tools of a perennial 25-goal scorer. However, he still has to show greater consistency and improve his play away from the puck in order to make the most of his offensive skill set.
Long Range Potential: Shifty offensive winger with consistency issues.
