As of right now the return isn’t known, but we will have a full update and analysis as soon as the details are available.

Kapanen has two more years left of his contract paying him an AAV of $3.2M.

With the 2021 1st being committed to Minnesota, that would mean the Leafs would be getting the 2020 1st, which is the 15th overall pick.

Apparently Kappy isn’t travelling alone…
