Panthers interested in Kapanen... not Ekblad?

Scott Burnside ESPN tweet...Well, every interview has been good at the Combine and no one interview has been more interesting than the other," Kapanen told NHL.com. "But when I talked to [the Panthers], we had a good meeting and they said they wanted to get me there because I'd help [Barkov] with his English, so I'd be that guy.

If true then I'm talking up taking Ekblad to Edmonton and see if they'll give us anything to move up from 3 to 2. As personally I want the Sabres to take one of the Sam's preferably Reinhart.
