Finnish junior / adult leagues have been a total mirage in terms of their competitiveness and creativity.
Because they had success in a few international tournaments people think that's the only way to win.
Honestly feel like the Habs will try anyone out?He's a réclamation project that I'd try on the Habs, if the price is right

And both were rushed by idiotic developmental staff.He’s like Puljujarvi without the speed and checking ability.
I think it's funny to see Dach who was also rushed by the Craphawks and then he goes to the Habs for a fresh start and puts up a 50pt pace, he'll likely keep rebounding there. Seems like a few others from that 2019 draft need a change of scenery, definitely has worked out for a couple so far. Next up - Zegras and Kappo.Needs a new start.
But yea 2019 full of duds.
Dammit…I knew I missed something…but was too distrakted atm.You spelled Zukkarello wrong
I get the argument but I don't know if any sort of development was going to help this guy. His hockey IQ is nonexistent. He just doesn't have any idea what to do with the puck at this level.A highly drafted player that was rushed to the NHL, definitely needed to be eased in and maybe spend some time (or a full season) in the AHL with actual development, failed. I mean, it's a tale as old as time with the NHL with so many players suffering this same fate only for fans sitting on their fat asses to claim these players are crap because they couldn't over come those obstacles.
You won't know because he was never given that opportunity. Instead of playing in more situations and fixing his game at the AHL level after his first season, they kept him up and just stunted his development. So now you want to blame his hockey IQ and that's a lot of bullshit imo because the development team in NY had zero IQ on how to develop the prospect and the failure of Kappo as a top player based on his potential is more the Rangers fault than Kappo's because he isn't the one telling the team how to use him, how to coach him, what situations to play him, etc.I get the argument but I don't know if any sort of development was going to help this guy.
