Kapanen vs Foegele

[pumpkinxyz]

Which one do you like for this year pts only?

Any chance they have a somewhat productive (45+) season?

Foegele

Foegele probably the safer bet.

but I'm a gambling man and Kapanen on with AM... I'll take him. (since I don't see Leafs signing willy unless willy take a 6.6 offered to him)

Well the poll is 6-1 in favour of Kapanen.

I kinda agree for the short term but I feel it's high risk high reward. Who knows when and if Nylander will be back plus he has no pp time. Foegele doesn't have pp time either but I think his place in the line-up is safer for the long haul.

Still not convinced either way so to not lose a trade I might just stay put and keep Zykov for now even though I've given up on him already.

Any argument to convince me otherwise?

there's always a chance Nylander slides into line 3 with Kadri if/when he returns -- the chemistry with kappy -- is going to give Babs pause. Nylander had stints with Kadri last year as well, so it's not like they'd be reinventing the wheel.

Foegle has the safest tragectory this season... Kappy is definitely your boom-bust opportunity. He gets to 40 even if he gets bumped down. He can push 60 if he sticks all season

Nylander could just as easily bump Hyman down a notch too, although Babs does like his Grinder, it appears, on each line to let the stars do what they do (Kappy opening up Marleau/Matthews or Switch Kappy/Marleau and Hyman opening up JT and MM and the 3rd line is full of grinders just waiting to get Kadri off the schnide. Honestly I think Nylander slotting in on line 2 or maybe 3 like was said above makes the team even better 1 through 3.

Boom or Bust it is. Risk not have not...

Now time to sit back and watch things unfold for a while before making any more moves.

Thanks!
