History
2006-07: With Mississauga IceDogs recorded 27 goals and 38 points while playing in 68 games. He added two goals and an assist in five playoff contests.
2007-08:Caputi almost doubled his previous season’s total of 27 goals and 65 points with 51 goals and 60 assists in 2007-08, good for first on the team, fourth in the OHL, and more points than highly touted prospects like Steve Stamkos and Cody Hodgson. The young forward also added an element of nasty to his play with 107 penalty minutes, fourth overall on his team.
Talent Analysis
Caputi has all of the physical tools to develop into a power forward at the NHL level. At 6-2, 184 pounds, Caputi's game is based upon paying a price physically. He scores a lot of his goals from in front of the net, and is more than willing to muck it up in the corners. One area where Caputi must improve is his skating, where his initial stride is not as quick as it needs to be.
