Kasperi Kapanen becomes Leafs third best prospect

The Leafs acquired top Finish prospect Kasperi Kapenen in the Phil Kessel trade. Here's what you need to know.

When you examine the Leafs system, there's no three clear names that standout. There's 2014 first round pick (eight overall), William Nylander. There's 2015 first round pick (fourth overall), Mitch Marner.

And now there's 2014 twenty-second overall selection Kasperi Kapenen, a player I had ranked at No. 10 in my final top 60 ranking heading into the 2014 draft.

Kapenen, a creative offensive winger, usurps prospects Connor Brown and Brendan Leipsic on the depth chart.
