Kapanen not trying to steal Nylander’s spot



Kasperi Kapanen has been thriving since joining Auston Matthews’ line, but says he isn’t here to steal William Nylander’s spot. He reached out to Nylander on Tuesday morning via text after his two-goal game against the Kings and hopes his best friend is back soon.

  1. Fuck it. Possible trade scenarios:

    Vancouver / Toronto
    William Nylander for Chris Tanev, Nikolay Goldobin and a 3rd

    Carolina / Toronto
    William Nylander and Connor Brown for Justin Faulk, Valentin Zykov and a 4th

    New York / Toronto
    William Nylander and Nikita Zaitsev for Kevin Shattenkirk and Jimmy Vesey

    Edmonton / Toronto
    William Nylander for Jesse Puljujarvi

  2. I heard Babcock had planned to just send Matthews and Marleau out every shift and leave Willy's spot open for him to return to. But shift after shift, Kappy keeps jumping the boards. What a thief!

  3. These guys should just not answer these stupid questions…. It’s embarrassing that the media is trying to stir up a story…. Report news, don’t try to create it….

  4. I hate the way the media is handling this. However, I like the class the players are displaying about this matter.

  5. When you have good men you have a talented good team with talented young players who are also good men. -Steve Dangle, I mean Babcock.

  6. I only watch highlights from nhl, and almost every goal lastseason from matthews was from nylanders feed. He sure has some shitty managers

  7. William's dad had a reputation of being selfish and more concerned about himself, than the team he played for and wasn't particularly admired by some of his team mates "worst team mate I ever had" was one quote. Not saying William is the same but look at what's happening. William is the big loser. Does the agent really know what he is doing?? Do your thing really well Kasperi.

  8. Wtf is this interview no he’s not plotting this to take nylander spot he’s just playing the best he can

  9. I feel bad for Tavares and Matthews. They have to deal with you media cunts in Toronto… that’s just depressing.

  10. Who cares if he does, or doesn't. And if so, then great-he earned it. Idk how Nylander would show his face in Toronto again anyway, except to play against them. Time for a blockbuster Dubas & Shanny..

  11. Last time I checked, 6 milly was huge bank. Way more to it than any of us know. Guaranteed he wants to be part of this and eventually will. TSN should piss off already. Fake news.

    GO LEAFS!!
