Oliver Kapanen: Announcement by Kent Hughes
The General Manager of the Montreal Canadiens, Kent Hughes, recently spoke about Oliver Kapanen, a rising star at the World Hockey Championship.
Kapanen, who has already scored his sixth goal of the tournament, stands out alongside Connor Bedard in the tournament's top scorers ranking.
Hughes expressed his great satisfaction with Kapanen's progress this season. He also confirmed that he is in discussions to finalize the acquisition and signing of the young player. Hughes met Kapanen's agent in Helsinki, and they agreed to talk again after the tournament.
Kapanen, 20 years old, selected 64th overall by the Canadiens in 2021, has accumulated 34 points in 51 games in the Finnish league and 13 points in 14 playoff games.
The development of this situation is closely followed by fans and the media, notably by RDS journalist Luc Gélinas, who reported these details.
