Kapanen now leads a certain Connor Bedard.

2. Connor Bedard, CAN - 4
3. Nico Hischier, SUI - 3
He is receiving praise from all over:
«We are really looking forward to seeing Oliver Kapanen at the Canadiens training camp this fall.

So, remember this name, watch him till the end of the World Championship, and barring a huge turnaround, this is a signing that should be announced before the next training camp of the Montreal Canadiens.
