The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded Kasperi Kapanen to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas has sent Kasperi Kapanen and his three million dollar cap hit to the Penguins in exchange for a first round pick, an excellent prospect, and some assorted non-entities.
This is a trade that will not only pay long term dividends for the Leafs, but one in which they win outright instantly.
