Perhaps Leafs fans need to adjust their expectations for ol' Kappy's development just a smidge.
Kasperi Kapanen had some brilliant moments this season. He scored the overtime gold-medal winner for Finland in the World Junior Championships playing in his home country, and he also looked great for a game or two in a Leafs' uniform. He also had a few nice goals for the Marlies, and seems to be good buds with William Nylander. The larger picture, however, painted by his box score totals and recent healthy scratching by Sheldon Keefe, may be somewhat less rosy.
