Why do you like Kakko so much? I understand that forwards like him take longer to develop, but his underlying stats and watching stats are looking more and more like Kotkaniemi. He hasn't been good offensively/defensively this year.
Kakko is pretty bad relative to where he should be. 1st + Kakko is terrible for Guentzel
I don't agree. And it doesn't match what GMKD himself has said about his approach.
I'm not that attached to him. What I am annoyed at is that this team has so many flaws and repeating the same formula every year just won't get you there.
No, its really not. The sad thing is you can’t tell me anything about the type of game Othmann plays. His strengths. Weaknesses. The kind of player he projects to be. Nothing.
By Gawd that’s Stone Cold Jimmy Rutherford’s musicIt's a bidding war...
Meh, I'm looking at the best value possible. I'm ok with a blue chip prospect a 1st rounder and a lesser piece.
He hasn’t. But he also was stuck with Nick Bonino early this season, and then had a bad injury.
you're always posting weird digs in this forum. maybe you need another hobby.
I know that I can't because I haven't watched him, but that's not my job. Yes, scouts attend games to watch players play, but they also take analytics into account. This is one of the main reasons Carolina has been a great drafting team since DW took over. I was just stating that Othmann had middling stats in his draft year, had a good D+1 year, a poor D+2 year, and is now having an alright season in the AHL. I agree that watching players is very important, especially if they are not putting up numbers on the stat sheet, but what he has been doing has been done before by many other players, and they haven't had success in the NHL.
The guys who reported that has no idea what he’s talking about, he’s mainly a steelers guy and is wrong 95% of the time with them.
You do know if Kakko was any good they would put him higher up in the lineup. 43.9% of the time he plays with Kreider and Mika, so what's the excuse there?
