Too much depth on the wing. Josh Leivo never plays. There is no room for Andreas Johnson. Nikita Soshnikov is notshikov playing either. The Toronto Maple Leafs have too many NHL quality wingers for too few spots.
The number-one loser of this problem other team’s would kill for has been Kasperi Kapanen. The guy could have been in the NHL two years ago. He was great in the playoffs last year when he played in a way that should have guaranteed him an NHL job. Then he went back to the AHL anyways.
So far this season Kapanen has been recalled and sent down 453 times.
