The Montreal Canadiens have drafted quite well in recent years. Several intriguing prospects have the potential to establish themselves in the NHL.
Oliver Kapanen is part of this category. The Finn has seen significant growth this season and is currently turning heads at the World Championship.
He just scored a hat trick. He followed it up with a fourth goal in the tournament against Norway this morning. The second-round pick in 2021 has yet to sign a deal with the Canadiens organization.
According to several rumors, the forward is expected to sign his first contract in North America very soon, and he could make his debut with the Rocket next season.
Some observers believe he has the potential to establish himself on a second or third line in the NHL.
