Commandant Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Oliver Kapanen was able to make his professional hockey debut this season, playing five games for JoKP in the Mestis, the second division of Finnish hockey. He scored three goals and two assists for five points in that short loan. He also played for Kalpa’s junior team in the Finnish Under-20 league. In 37 games, Kapanen scored 25 goals and 16 assists for 41 points. He joined the Finnish Team at the IIHF Under-18 World Championships. He suffered a scary injury in the tournament but has recovered. https://lastwordonsports.com/hockey/2021/07/04/oliver-kapanen-scouting-report-2021-nhl-draft-52/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Sounds like he's got some offensive upside. And Finns are always good on defense, so nice pick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Likely a good pick, he's got quite the Finish hockey pedigree. He's Kasper's cousin, Sami is his uncle, and his father was a Goalie, plus his grandfather and great uncle played too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
