The main asset acquired in the Phil Kessel trade, Kasperi Kapanen is the son of former NHLer Sami Kapanen who is most famous for being on the receiving end of this hit. His son has already had to answer what he thinks of that hit on his father by former Leaf Darcy Tucker, and will most likely be haunted by that question for much of his time as a Leaf.
