Kapanen managed an impressive 41 points in 37 games with the U20 team in KalPa last season. If all goes well, he’ll likely get a shot at the Liiga next year as he continues his development.
It’s a second skill pick in a row for the Habs, after taking Riley Kidney from the QMJHL, the Canadiens used both of their second rounders on players with a good amount of puck skills.
The Habs will be back on the clock next for pick 76.
