Amidst all the violence today in the world of hockey, the Toronto Maple Leafs have supposedly extended Kasperi Kapanen. Inking Kapanen to a new contract would make sure the Toronto Maple Leafs keep one their most valuable assets.
Reportedly, the deal will be a bridge deal of 3 years with an AVV between $3,2 – 3,4 million. For the skills Kapanen brings to the ice, it’s an absolute bargain. For a potential top-line forward who can strengthen both special teams, that’s an absolute steal of a contract.
While this deal in the making might seem as just paperwork crossing the desk for Dubas this summer, especially compared to trading Marleau and extending Mitch Marner, this deal is in fact much more.
