Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Kasperi Kapanen keeps on doing well in the AHL so far this season! After 14 games played, the 21-year old forward scored six goals and added three assists for a total of nine points. Last season, Kapanen registered 43 points in 43 games played with the Toronto Marlies and added eight points in nine playoff games. 

The Finnish forward played three games in the NHL this season, without registering a point. In 20 games played with the Leafs, he scored one goal. 

Drafted 22nd overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2014, Kapanen was traded to the Maple Leafs in the deal involving Phil Kessel in the summer of 2015. 

In 135 games played at the AHL level, the Finnish forward 100 points (regular season and playoffs included).

What do you think the Leafs should do with him? Should they keep him in the AHL so he can build his confidence? Or calling him up and give him the chance to play a role in the top six forwards?
