The Montreal Canadiens have made a decision and have decided to offer a contract to a prospect drafted in 2021. Oliver Kapanen finally secures his first NHL contract.
After a very successful season in Finland, the Canadiens' second-round pick from three years ago has continued his development at the Senior World Championship just a few weeks ago.
Kapanen is a solid two-way forward and is likely to make his North American debut with the Laval Rocket.
Several insiders believe he has the potential to be a top 9 offensive player in the NHL. The future looks promising for Oliver Kapanen within the Canadiens' organization.
