Kapanen was drafted 64th overall by the Canadiens at the 2021 NHL Draft on Saturday.
Scouting Report
The cousin of NHL forward Kasperi Kapanen is an all-around center who can play in any situation. He is an above-average skater who has the ability to be elusive in tight spaces. Needs to add strength for the NHL level, but a lot of the other attributes for a successful career are present.
Long Range Potential: Solid overall center.
